Victor Sanders, of Kingsville, was charged Monday with voluntary manslaughter, armed criminal action and three other felonies in the death of his 57-year-old brother, Michael Sanders, of Odessa.

Michael Sanders was found dead Sunday at his brother’s home in Kingsville.

A probable cause statement says Victor Sanders admitted to shooting his brother several times during an argument over a sibling who is incarcerated. Victor Sanders said he shot Michael when his brother lunged at him.

Court records show Victor Sanders had several convictions for first-degree assault and possession and distribution of a controlled substance.

Online court records don’t list an attorney for Sanders.
