Ybor City shooting suspect claims self-defense in deadly incident

The suspect in the Ybor City shooting that killed two people and injured 15 others claimed he fired in self-defense because he feared for his safety, according to court records.

Video footage reviewed by police contradicts Phillips' claim that the victim reached for his waistband before he opened fire. Phillips, an aspiring rapper, has a previous arrest for marijuana possession and driving under the influence.
