context: This evidence was sufficient to allow the jury to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Davis did not justifiably use deadly force to protect himself -- after Cameron already had been shot in the head -- from Cameron's assault. Or the jury simply could have disbelieved Davis's claim of self-defense, given the number of gunshots fired.
