FEDERICO G. HINOJOSA, Jr., Justice.

A jury found appellant, Fernando Espinoza, Jr., guilty of murder and after finding that appellant acted under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause, assessed his punishment at seventeen years' imprisonment. By four points of error, appellant contends that the trial court erred in excluding evidence regarding the character of the victim, Arnold Moreno. We reverse and remand.
