This is the horrifying moment a Texas man shot his partner's ex-husband dead during a furious child custody row outside of his home.

Footage shows Kyle Carruth opening fire on Chad Read after the two squared up against each other and wrestled over the gun in Lubbock, Texas.

However, Carruth has not yet been charged by police over the killing with his lawyers arguing that it was 'justifiable homicide' and carried out in self defence.

The argument leading up to the November 5 shooting centred around a custody dispute over the children of Chad Read and his ex-wife Christina Read.

Through her attorney, Chad Read's widow Jennifer Read released a statement along with the footage that shows the moment her 54-year-husband was shot and killed by Carruth, reportedly Christina Read's new boyfriend.

In an affidavit, Jennifer Read has since accused Christina Read and Kyle Carruth of engaging 'in a conspiracy to assault and/or murder Chad that day.'
