Killing of Morris Black

Common card · No. 213501

In October 2001, the dismembered remains of 71-year-old Morris Black were discovered floating in Galveston Bay. Black's neighbor, real estate heir Robert Durst, was charged with his murder. Durst testified he shot Black in self-defense and was acquitted due to a lack of forensic evidence to contest his account. Following the acquittal, Durst pleaded guilty to evidence tampering by dismembering Black's body.
