Killed – Carlos Rueda (Rio Rancho, NM)

RIO RANCHO, N.M. —Police have made an arrest in a New Year’s Eve slaying in Rio Rancho.

Authorities with the Rio Rancho Police Department said they were called to a shooting in the 1600 block of Evelyn Drive NE about 10:40 p.m.

Police said this was a case of negligence. Officers told KOAT Action 7 News that Ryan Wathen, 20, picked up a gun without checking if it was loaded and then shot and killed his friend, Carlos Rueda, 22, during a party.

“The suspect did not make sure that the chamber was clear, that the gun was safe, before pulling the trigger,” Rio Rancho police Officer Janet Garcia said.

Investigators said Rueda, of Rio Rancho, suffered a gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

A 911 caller reported that Rueda, an employee of Rio Rancho Archery and Armory, was shot about 10:30 p.m. in the bedroom of a house in the 1600 block of Evelyn Drive NE in Rio Rancho.

Wathen later told family member that he did not intentionally shoot Rueda, police wrote in the complaint.

Instead, Rueda asked Wathen to pick up a pistol that was lying next to a computer in the bedroom, the complaint said.

Rueda allegedly gave Wathen assurances that the pistol was unloaded and said, “don’t you trust me?” police wrote in the complaint.

Rueda told Wathen to point the pistol at Rueda’s head and pull the trigger, the complaint said.

After the gun discharged, Wathen dropped the pistol and ran from the house because he was scared, it states.

Killed – Eric M. Wheeler (Springfield, OH)

SPRINGFIELD — A Northeastern High School graduate died after a shooting that a 911 caller said was an accident, but officers investigating the incident could need weeks to complete their work, Springfield’s police chief said Tuesday.

Eric M. Wheeler, 22, died Monday afternoon from injuries sustained when he was shot in the abdomen at a southeast Springfield house.

No charges have been filed, according to the Springfield Police Division.

Authorities were alerted to the shooting at 3:29 p.m. at 932 Barker Drive, about one mile from the Burnett Plaza Shopping Center.

A man who pleaded guilty to shooting and killing his friend while they were drinking inside of a Springfield home received a three-year prison sentence on Friday.

Dustin Olwin, 29, of 932 Barker Drive, pleaded guilty June 17 to involuntary manslaughter, a third-degree felony. In exchange for the guilty plea, charges of reckless homicide, negligent homicide and using weapons while intoxicated were dismissed.

Olwin was charged in connection with the December 2013 shooting death of his friend Eric M. Wheeler. Wheeler was shot and killed while the two were drinking and hanging out at Olwin’s home.
In a 9-1-1 call from the night of the shooting, a woman on the phone with dispatchers said they were “screwing around” with guns when Wheeler was “accidentally” shot in the abdomen.

Killed – Thomas Michael Harris (Sussex County, VA)

A Disputanta hunter has died of injuries he suffered Monday in a deer hunting accident in Sussex County, authorities said.

Thomas Michael Harris, 61, died at 10:40 a.m. today at VCU Medical Center in Richmond, said Lee Walker, a spokesman for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, which is investigating the incident.

The shooting occurred about 1:40 p.m. Monday during a hunt club outing near U.S. 460 and Georgetown Road outside of Waverly.

Walker said members of hunt club, which included Harris and the shooter, were driving deer with hunting dogs. At one point, a deer ran through the area and a hunter fired his shotgun and struck Harris – who was standing beyond the deer – in the back of the head.

Killed – Girl – Hope Alexandra Fair (Fountain Inn, SC)

A teen boy fatally shot a 12-year-old girl at a mobile home in South Carolina on Sunday evening in what he called an accident, police said.

The unidentified 15-year-old was loading a magazine into a Colt .380 when it fired a bullet to Hope Alexandria Fair’s head, local media report.

Hope’s mother, Michelle Fair, remembers her daughter as a friendly and creative girl who loves art and music.

“She’s just very outgoing, outspoken, joyful and a happy girl,” Fair told The State newspaper of South Carolina. “She was beautiful. … She’d make friends with everybody.”

The unidentified teen boy has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, and Hope’s family thinks the killing was an accident — though the boy changed his story several times, according to the newspaper.

Hope was at the home in Fountain Inn, S.C., to visit her friend, the boy’s cousin, who called dispatch herself to say that the teen boy was holding the pistol when it went off and that he had left the mobile home to hide it, local media said.

Coroner Nick Nichols says Hope Alexandra Fair of Gray Court died at a hospital at around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Deputies say the shooting happened at a home in Fountain Inn about an hour earlier.

Nichols says the girl was shot in the head. Authorities haven’t released any other details.

Killed – Bruce Fleming (Deltona, FL)

The man who fired the shotgun that killed a 69-year-old man in the yard of his Deltona home on Christmas will not be charged, a Volusia County grand jury decided on Thursday.

Bruce Fleming was in his yard when he was struck by the stray pellet from a shotgun fired by Julio Lemus, who was shooting at a bird on a nearby property, authorities said. The grand jury ruled there is not enough evidence to prove a crime has been committed.

According to a Volusia County Sheriff’s Office report, Fleming and his son were outside doing some work in the yard when three shots were fired. Lemus told police he was shooting at a bird that was in a tree.

Lemus apparently wanted to shoot the bird because it was causing problems with his livestock, according to the report.

When he fired the first shot, the bird was up in a tree about 12 feet. The bird then moved to another tree and perched on it about 6 feet high, and Lemus fired again.

“The importance of the second shot is the backdrop for the shot is closely in line with where (Fleming) was working on his property at the time Lemus fired the second shot,” the report said.

The report states there were about 550 feet separating where Lemus fired the shots to where Fleming was standing.

It was after the second shot that Lemus told deputies he heard screaming. Fleming’s son found his father with a gunshot wound to his chest.

Lemus fired a third shot after the bird flew to the other side of the property, the report said.

After 911 was called, Fleming’s son drove his truck to get help when he encountered Lemus and another man who were driving away. When Lemus learned someone was shot, he said “I’m sorry, I don’t know what happened,” according to the report. He said he did not see anyone on Fleming’s property when he was shooting.

Lemus said he bought the shotgun about a year previous. He said he didn’t have any formal firearm safety training but did learn some tips from the previous owner of the shotgun.

“Among the things Lemus admitted to being told was not to shoot in the direction of homes or people,” the report said. “Lemus said that he shot in the direction of (Fleming’s property) because he thought it was high enough and none of the shots would be able to make it that far.”

It’s legal to fire a gun on private property in that part of the county “as long as it’s done in a safe and prudent manner,” the sheriff’s office has said.

Volusia sheriff’s investigators said Fleming was shot in the chest at 10:02 a.m. Wednesday while in his backyard at 3220 Cadehill Drive. Thursday’s autopsy confirmed Fleming died from the gunshot wound he suffered.

Killed – Baby – Kestyn Davis (East Lampeter, PA)

A family member owned the gun that discharged earlier Tuesday afternoon in an East Lampeter Township home, killing a 2-month-old child, police said.

Police arrived at an apartment in the 2100 block of Old Philadelphia Pike at 2:24 p.m. where they found the infant suffering from a single gunshot wound, according to an East Lampeter Township police news release. Police and other first responders tried to render aid to the young victim, but the child was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the Lancaster General Hospital, police said.

Saying it would compound a tragedy and serve no purpose, a Lancaster County judge spared an East Lampeter man prison time for accidentally shooting his infant daughter.

Instead, Judge Dennis Reinaker sentenced G. Scott Davis, 36, to six years of probation Friday after Davis pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and related charges in the Dec. 24 death of 2-month-old Kestyn Davis.

Davis had been playing with a 9-mm handgun he’d bought earlier in December when he pulled the trigger while the gun was in his lap, according to authorities. He knew the gun had a magazine, but didn’t realize a bullet was in the chamber.

The bullet struck Kestyn, who was in a swing at the other end of the room a few feet away. Kestyn died shortly after being shot in the abdomen.

Almost immediately, Davis’ wife, Alyssa, and her father returned home from shopping and her father called 911.

They had been picking up tuxedos so Alyssa and Scott could have a formal wedding ceremony, according to Scott’s lawyer, Jeffrey Conrad, said. The couple married in April.

Killed – Girl (Quick, WV)

Police say a 10-year-old girl was fatally shot on Pentacre Road in Quick on Sunday. The girl and a 9-year-old boy were shooting targets with a shotgun when the girl was accidentally shot in the chest and arm.

QUICK, W.Va. — A 10-year-old girl was shot and killed Sunday in Kanawha County in what police say was an accidental shooting involving another child.

A 911 call was made around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, reporting that the girl was accidentally shot while she and a 9-year-old boy were “target practicing” with a shotgun in Quick, according to dispatchers.

The girl received injuries to her chest and arm and underwent surgery at CAMC General Hospital, where she died overnight.

The shooting happened near a creek bank in the 3800 block of Pentacre Road.

The names of the two minors were not released by Monday evening, and the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department is still investigating.

Police confirmed that the two children were not siblings.

On December 22, 2013 at approximately 5:30 p.m. a shooting was reported in the 3800 block of Pentacre Road near Quick, Kanawha County WV. A caller reported to Metro 911 that a nine year old and ten year old were target practicing with a 410 shotgun near a creek when the ten year old was accidentally shot. The ten year old female received injuries to her arm and chest.

Medics were dispatched along with Kanawha County Sheriff’s Deputies. Local volunteer fire department members also responded to render aid.

She was transported from the scene by personal vehicle until a responding ambulance with the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority met them along the route. HealthNet launched a helicopter to assist with transport, but was cancelled when the ambulance was determined to be the fastest mode of transportation and continued to Charleston Area Medical Center’s General Division Hospital with the patient.

The patient was taken into surgery upon arrival. The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office will not likely issue further updates on the condition of the victim.

Double Shooting – Killed – Galen Scott (Nairn, LA)

NAIRN, La. – An 18-year-old man hog hunting with two close friends accidentally shot them when he mistook them for the hogs he sought, Plaquemines Parish Sheriff Lonnie Greco said.

The shots from the shotgun of Wyatt Evans struck and killed 18-year-old Galen Scott and injured 17-year-old Cody Jones.

Evans has been booked at the Belle Chasse jail without bail on charges of negligent homicide and negligent injuring.

The incident occurred Thursday around 5:45 p.m. in Nairn, just south of Port Sulphur.

According to Greco, deputies received a call of two people shot in Nairn and those who arrived on the scene found Scott suffering from wounds to the head and leg, he was pronounced dead on the scene. Jones was shot in the legs and was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Greco said that based on interviews with Evans, Jones and other witnesses, it appears that the three friends went hog hunting in a wooded area and that prior to the trip, they had smoked marijuana.

After the sun had set, Greco said that Scott and Jones began walking towards Evans and that he observed two objects about 75 feet away and, thinking they were the hogs they sought, he fired back-to-back rounds of buckshot from his gun, striking both young men.

Greco said Evans immediately ran to their aid and the Plaquemines sheriff’s office was called to the scene.

Double Shooting – Wounded – Woman (Ivesdale, IL)

ATWOOD – A man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and a woman who tried to stop him was accidentally shot in the hand Tuesday afternoon, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

Terry Rexroad, 45, died after shooting himself at his residence in northern Douglas County near the Champaign County line, according to Peter Buckley, the sheriff’s office’s chief deputy. The incident took place about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at 95E County Road 1550N, a location between Atwood and the Champaign County town of Ivesdale.

Police believe Rexroad’s wife, Theresa Rexroad, 41, found her husband despondent and tried to call 911, Buckley said. Then, Terry Rexroad tried to take her phone from her while holding a handgun, which fired accidentally and hit the woman in the hand, he said. Theresa Rexroad then left the home and called authorities, who found Terry Rexroad dead when they arrived, Buckley said.

Theresa Rexroad was treated for her injury at Kirby Hospital in Monticello and later released, according to the sheriff’s office.

IVESDALE — Police say a man accidentally shot his wife, then turned the gun on himself. It happened at 95 East 1550 North in Douglas County.

Investigators say 45-year old Terry Rexroad was threatening to kill himself and his wife, Theresa, pulled out her phone to call 911. As she was doing that, he struggled to take it from her with a gun in his hand. It went off and a bullet hit her finger.

Police say Theresa ran out and drove about a mile away from the home and called police. She stressed to the dispatcher that her son was on a school bus and would be home any minute. The bus was stopped nearby and turned around.

Killed – James Wisdom (Columbia, TN)

This story contains an error. James Tyler Wisdom did not live at the 2228 Union Place Court residence where the incident took place, as Columbia police initially reported. Detectives confirmed Monday that Wisdom lived at 3367 Neeley Hollow Road.

—-

Columbia police are investigating the Sunday morning death of a 19-year-old man they believe was the victim of a “tragic shooting accident,” Sgt. Vince Morgan said.

James Tyler Wisdom of Columbia died inside his town home at 2228 Union Place Court from a single gunshot wound to his head, according to a police report.

Morgan said Wisdom’s roommate was upstairs showing a .45-caliber Sauer pistol to another person about 1 a.m. Sunday when it discharged. The bullet passed through the floor striking Wisdom, who was standing in the kitchen area below.

Police responding to a 911 call found the two men who had been upstairs outside the home. They were extremely distraught, he said.

While running his information, officers found a grand jury indicted him with reckless homicide for the death of James Tyler Wisdom, 19, of 3367 Neeley Hollow Road, Columbia, according to Capt. Kenny Brady. He remains at the Franklin County jail, pending his extradition.

Frederick and Wisdom were at Frederick’s Union Place Court apartment around 1 a.m. on December 15. Frederick was upstairs showing a roommate, Adam Mark Eli of Columbia, his .45-caliber Sauer pistol. The weapon discharged while Frederick was handling it, sending the bullet through the floor and striking Wisdom in the head as he stood in the downstairs kitchen area, according to the report. He died at the scene.

Frederick and Eli left the weapon in the apartment and waited outside for police, according to preliminary police reports. The two were “hysterical” as they told officers what happened, according to the report.

Killed – Michael Ward (St. Petersburg, FL)

ST. PETERSBURG — The gun authorities say a woman was holding when she fatally shot her boyfriend Wednesday evening was treated like a plaything in the house the couple was sharing with another couple, St. Petersburg police said Thursday.

Mandy Marie Evelyn Avis, 20, was charged with manslaughter in the death of her boyfriend, Michael Ward, 23, at 1945 Second Ave. N.

According to St. Petersburg police spokesman Mike Puetz, the couple had been in the house for roughly 18 months, with Ward recently purchasing a firearm. Another man and woman also lived there.

Ward frequently played with the gun while it was unloaded, Puetz said,

“It was treated like a plaything — doing fast draws, things like that,” Puetz said.

But Wednesday, Ward had reloaded the gun and put it on a nightstand in the bedroom he shared with Avis, Puetz said. She picked it up, thinking it was unloaded, pointed it at Ward and fired, Puetz said.

Ward suffered a single wound to his chest and was transported to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg, where he died, authorities said.

About 6 p.m. Wednesday, police said, Avis and Ward were playing with the .22-caliber gun when she pointed it at his chest and pulled the trigger, believing it wasn’t loaded. A bullet hit him in the chest.

Killed – Female Teen – Aubrey Peters (Noblesville, IN)

The man charged with reckless homicide in the shooting death of a Noblesville teenager in December has pleaded guilty in Hamilton County court.

Jacob Travis McDaniel, 20, Noblesville, was arrested after he fatally shot 16-year-old Aubrey Peters with a handgun he thought would be empty, police said.

McDaniel pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and pointing a firearm, both felonies, according to a plea agreement he signed Friday. The court issued an order on the plea Monday.

According to a probable cause affidavit, McDaniel, Peters and two other men were in McDaniel’s house in the 8200 block of River Run Place about 11:20 p.m. Dec. 8 when the shooting happened.

Court documents say McDaniel was showing Peters and the two others a shotgun and a handgun. Dajuan Williams, one of the men, told police that “McDaniel tried to get Aubrey to hold the gun, but she didn’t want to.”

At that point, Williams told police, McDaniel ejected the magazine from the gun, pointed the weapon at Peters, took the safety off and pulled the trigger.

McDaniel apparently thought the gun was empty, the affidavit said, but when he pulled the trigger, a round fired. Peters was taken to St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

The killing prompted an outpouring of support for Peters, who two years earlier was hailed as a hero for saving two children who fell through the ice on Morse Reservoir.

Killed – Toddler (Indianapolis, IN)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – A 3-year-old boy has died after he apparently shot himself in the head. Detectives believe the boy shot himself after pulling the gun off a kitchen counter. It happened Saturday evening around 6 p.m. at a home on East 68th Street near Kingsley Drive.

The boy was transported to Riley Hospital for Child at IU Health where he died as a result of his injuries. The boy’s parents and 4-year-old sister were also home at the time. According to Indianapolis Metropolitan police, a 911 caller said “a gun went off and struck a child.”

INDIANAPOLIS, IN, 12/07/13: RTV 6 reports that a 3 year old is dead after being shot in the head yesterday evening at his family’s home on the 1800 block of East 68th Street. Police responded to the scene after 6 p.m. where they found the boy inside the home suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. The child was then rushed to Riley Hospital for Children in critical condition and later died of his injuries. Investigators have indicated that they believe the child accidentally shot himself in the head after he pulled the gun off a kitchen counter. A neighbor to the family said “I’ve known they had guns; they’ve carried them in public on their side, they’ve got permits for them and I just thought they always were a little bit more responsible than that.”

The parents of a 3-year-old boy who fatally shot himself in December were arrested Friday on charges of neglect of a dependent. The father faces an additional felony charge of neglect of a dependent causing death.

Warrants were issued Thursday for Nicholas Gulling, 27, and Sandra Tomich, 35 according to a release from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Both Gulling and Tomich were being held Friday in the Marion County Jail, Gulling on $20,000 bond and Tomich on $1,000 bond.

Initially after the Dec. 7 incident in the 1800 block of 68th Street, where the boy pulled a loaded gun from a kitchen counter and shot himself in the head, investigators were preliminarily classifying it as an accident.

Gulling and Tomich, and a 4-year-old sister of the boy were home at the time of the shooting.

After the shooting, the child was taken to Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health in critical condition. He died hours later.

Killed – Timothy Bruce (Adams, PA)

The Cambria County hunter who was fatally shot in Adams on Saturday afternoon was accidentally shot and killed by another member of his hunting party, according to the Cambria County coroner.

Timothy Bruce, 42, of Ashville, Pa. outside Altoona, was shot just after 3:30 p.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:41 p.m., said Coroner Dennis Kwiatkowski. The manner of death has been ruled accidental.

EBENSBURG – A Windber man pleaded guilty to a violation of the Pennsylvania Game Commission laws Thursday, the result of a hunting accident that claimed the life a friend more than a year ago.
Matthew Scott Nadolsky, 29, of the 900 block of Peaceful Valley Road, Windber, entered a plea to a charge of shooting at, or causing injury to human beings and will be sentenced in January.
Nadolsky was charged by the game commission in February, more than two months after the shooting death of Timothy E. Bruce, 42, of Ashville.

The two were in a party of about a dozen men hunting deer in the Seesetown Road area of Adams Township between Sidman and Dunlo.

Adams Township police Chief Kirk Moss, part of the initial investigation team, said Thursday the death of Bruce was an unfortunate accident and no criminal intent could be found.
“It truly was an unfortunate accident,” Moss said following the court proceeding.

The initial ruling was that there was no criminal wrongdoing, said Moss, but the game commission came up with a different finding when it took over the investigation.

Moss said the hunters were driving for deer, something usually done in a straight line, with hunters waiting to shoot as the animals move through the woods.

The line moved into a semicircle through a heavily wooded area, and when the deer appeared, Nadolsky started shooting, firing two shots at the deer with a .270-caliber rifle.

Bruce, about 180 feet from Nadolsky, was struck in the abdomen with one of the shots, according to the investigation, and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Cambria County Coroner’s Office.

Killed – Joseph H. Stevens Jr. (Loranger, LA)

A 33-year-old Loranger man was fatally shot in what appears to be a hunting accident that occurred Friday near Highway 1062 in Loranger.

Joseph H. Stevens Jr.’s body has been turned over to the Tangipahoa Parish Coroner’s Office, authorities said.

Stevens and Stacey M. Trapp, 37, also of Loranger, hunted on property near 55202 Highway 1062 and decided to head back to their vehicles around 2:30 p.m.

Trapp told law enforcers they searched for an easier crossing point after coming across a net wire fence.

Trapp decided to crawl under some bushes with his .270 caliber bolt-action rifle slung around his right shoulder. His rifle went off as he squatted down, Trapp said, and a bullet struck Stevens.
Trapp called 911 for help.

“Investigators believe that Stevens was killed instantly and do not suspect foul play at this time,” Wildlife and Fisheries stated in a statement issued Saturday.

LYONS, Ohio — An Oregon man has been identified as the victim of a shooting that occurred during a hunting outing last week in Fulton County’s Royalton Township.

Jacob Karamol, 21, was shot once in the head and pronounced dead at the scene, according to John Windau, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Mr. Karamol and another man were hunting together near State Rt. 109 and County Road N when Mr. Karamol approached his companion, who was in a tree and lowering his gun to the ground. While being lowered, the gun fired three times, with one slug hitting Mr. Karamol, Mr. Windau said.

An investigation revealed the hunter in the tree stand had tied a strap to the firearm’s trigger guard, rather than unload it and use the safety catch, Mr. Windau said. At some point, the strap engaged the trigger, causing the gun to fire, he said.

The second hunter remained unidentified Monday pending the investigation’s completion. The Fulton County Prosecutor’s Office said no charges had been filed.

LYONS, Ohio — Authorities today identified Jacob Karamol of Oregon as the man who died of a gunshot Dec. 3 in a deer hunting incident in Fulton County’s Royalton Township.

The incident near State Rt. 109 and County Road N. was reported by a 911 caller at 1:52 p.m., Fulton County Sheriff Roy Miller said in a statement.

Killed – Justin Holt (Boca Raton, FL)

BOCA RATON, Fla. —Police are investigating after a Pompano Beach man was shot and killed at his friend’s Boca Raton apartment.

It happened shortly before 11 p.m. at the Gables of Town Place apartments on Town Lakes Drive.

Boca Raton police interviewed the other four people who were at the apartment at the time of the shooting, and they all provided the same account of events.

Madison Flint and her friend, Joshua Henry, were hanging out and called some other friends to come over to Flint’s apartment. Erin Steele, Justin Holt and another friend arrived a short time later.

Henry, who brought a handgun with him, showed them the gun and let them “dry fire” the pistol. He then re-loaded the gun and set it on the counter.

Later that evening, Steele picked up the gun from the counter, pointed it at Holt and fired, police said.

Holt was taken to Delray Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Boca Raton, FL – Investigators from the Boca Raton Police Services Department have charged two people in connection with the shooting death of Justin Holt.

On Sunday, December 1, 2013, just before 11:00 p.m., Boca Raton Police officers responded to a report of a shooting at the Gables of Town Place Apartments, 21445 Town Lakes Drive. When officers arrived, they met with a group of people and a male who had been shot in the chest.

Detectives interviewed the four people who were present at the apartment when the shooting occurred. They all provided the same version of events. The resident, Madison Flint, and her friend, Joshua Henry, were hanging out and called some other friends to come over to Flint’s apartment. Erin Steele, Justin Holt, and another friend arrived at the apartment a short time later. Henry brought a handgun with him, was showing the group the gun and allowed members of the group to dry fire the pistol. Henry re-loaded the gun and set it on the counter. Later in the evening, Steele picked the gun up from the counter, pointed it at Holt and fired it. Holt was transported to Delray Medical Center where he died shortly thereafter. Steele smoked marijuana earlier in the evening and had a high level of THC in her system.

Both Steele and Henry have been charged with Manslaughter by Culpable Negligence.

One of two people charged in the December 2013 shooting death of a Pompano Beach in Boca Raton accepted a plea today that will put her on house arrest for a year along with another six years on probation.

Erin Steele, 21, pleaded guilty this morning to a charge of manslaughter by culpable negligence and received the plea as part of an agreement between her attorney, Christopher Haddad, and prosecutor Cheryl Caracuzzo.

Killed – Christopher Garrett (Milton, FL)

MILTON, Fla. (AP) — A Florida Panhandle man is dead after a deer hunting accident.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Stan Kirkland says 30-year-old Christopher Garrett was hunting on land owned by his family when he was shot on Saturday afternoon.

Investigators say Garrett had been hunting in deer stands with Johnny Farmer when both left their stands around dusk.

The Pensacola News Journal (http://on.pnj.com/1gxCK3C ) reports Farmer saw motion in the woods and fired his shotgun, striking Garrett.

Garrett was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, where he died Sunday morning.

Kirkland says neither man was wearing hunter orange, but deer hunters aren’t required to wear orange on private land.

The wildlife agency is investigating the shooting. Kirkland says the state attorney’s office also will review the case.

Garrett was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola where he passed away about 11:00 Sunday morning.

Christopher Garrett was deer hunting around 5 p.m. on property owned by his family in a field behind Munson Highway when he was shot, according to Stan Kirkland spokesman for FWC.

Garrett and 30-year-old Milton resident Johnny Farmer left their tree stands around dusk when Farmer saw motion in the woods and shot a .12-gauge shot gun, hitting Garrett with buckshot from his ribs to his legs, according to the FWC hunting accident report.

Killed – Male Teen (Meridian, MS)

MERIDIAN, MS, 11/29/13: A local teenager is dead following an apparent accidental shooting in Meridian on Friday afternoon. MPD was called to a home on 30th Avenue about 2:00. Authorities say a 17-year-old was shot in the head accidentally. He was rushed to the hospital, but Lauderdale County Coroner Clayton Cobler says he died a short time later.

Meridian police were quick to respond to the scene of a shooting Friday. Now 22-year-old Johnny Townsend is charged with manslaughter after accidentally taking a 17-year-old boy’s life.

“Charges were a result of an investigation into a shooting of a 17-year-old on Friday, Nov. 29, in the 3500 block of 30th Street,” Lt. John Griffith of the MPD said.

Police believe only Townsend and the boy were at the home at the time of the shooting. Results of the preliminary autopsy have come in and Coroner Clayton Cobler says that helps to provide a little more clarity on what happened that day.

“It is a perforating gunshot wound to the head at a distant range, was the entrance wound, and it did have an exit wound also. So the gunshot actually is what caused the death,” Cobler explained. “And from the evidence found at the autopsy, the gun was at a distance where it did not leave any residue, so that tell us it was at least 2 to 3 feet from the head.”

After its investigation, the MPD does not believe any foul play was involved in the incident, only that the shooting was accidental.

The coroner says the boy was quickly rushed to Anderson Hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal.

“According to the 911 it sounds like pretty immediately from the time it occurred until they contacted 911, and of course, he died at the hospital,” Cobler said.

Officers urge anyone operating a firearm to remember to use extreme caution at all times.

Killed – Male Teen – Richard Deleon (Bloomington, TX)

BLOOMINGTON (AP) — A South Texas woman has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of her 17-year-old brother as the pair apparently struggled over a handgun.

The Victoria Advocate reports 22-year-old Janiemarie Perez Clay was being held on $75,000 bond. The Victoria County Sheriff’s Office on Friday did not immediate update her custody status or provide information on an attorney.

Investigators say Richard Rico Deleon was fatally shot early Thanksgiving Day at a home in Bloomington, 10 miles southeast of Victoria. The teen was dead at the scene. Autopsy results are pending.

Sandra Deleon Ramirez says her two children apparently were playing with the gun and she told her son to put the weapon away. The mother believes her daughter was trying to take the gun when it accidentally fired.

Officers responded about 1 a.m. to the call of shots fired in the 400 block of Hedge Street, said Sheriff T. Michael O’Connor.

Killed – Toddler – Taj H. Ayesh (Lakeland, FL)

Polk County Sheriff’s Office detectives are investigating the shooting death of a 2-year-old Lakeland child.

According to detectives, shortly before 8:30 p.m. Monday, the boy, Taj H. Ayesh, was taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Center by parents Hathum R. Ayesh, 36, and Stephanie Sharell Nealy, 29.

The mother said Tai followed her outside to Ayesh’s truck to retrieve a pre-paid card from the vehicle.

Killed – Vernon Bryant Gurganus (Mollie, NC)

COLUMBUS COUNTY, NC (WECT) – A 79-year-old man was killed Monday while hunting in Mollie, which is in Columbus County.

According to Wildlife Resource Officials, Vernon Bryant Gurganus went to his truck to grab a double barrel shotgun to use for hunting, but it discharged and shot him in the chest.

Gurganus, of Clarendon, died from his injuries.

MOLLIE, NC, 11/25/13: A hunting accident claimed the life of 79-year-old Vernon Bryant Gurganus Monday afternoon near Mollie. Another hunter, also an acquaintance, noticed from a distance that the door of Gurganus’s truck was open and went to investigate. He found Gurganus on the ground with a single shotgun wound to the middle of his chest. Master Officer Keith Rogers of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission said that Gurganus apparently tried to remove a double barrel shotgun from behind the seat of the truck by grabbing the muzzle and pulling it toward him. The gun, loaded with buckshot, accidentally discharged. Gurganus, of Butler Town Road, Clarendon, had called his wife about 12:30 to say he was going hunting, and he was found around 4 p.m., Rogers said. The accident occurred near the 6200 block of Lebanon Church Road. The truck was a considerable distance from the highway.

Killed – Boy – Jeremiah Davis (Dearborn Heights, MI)

DEARBORN HEIGHTS — An 11-year-old boy who was shot in the head by a teen died Nov. 26, two days after he was shot.

The child was shot Nov. 24 at a residence in the 5600 block of Kingsbury. Police believe the shooting was accidental.

The boy was taken to Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit.

Police believe a 15-year-old boy, whose mother dates the dead boy’s father, shot the 11-year-old with a revolver.

The boys reportedly were close and the shooting appears to have happened while they were playing with the gun.

The 15-year-old boy pleaded guilty to manslaughter after shooting 11-year-old Jeremiah Davis on Nov. 24, 2013 at his father’s house in Dearborn Heights. The Press & Guide does not name minors involved in the juvenile justice system.

Jeremiah Davis was taken to Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit and died two days later from the effects of a gunshot wound to his head. His mother believes the teen knew what he was doing when he held the gun to her son’s head.

His mother, Cassandra Davis, said she’s appalled the teen will be free after just a few years under the state’s juvenile sentencing guidelines.

HEIGHTS — The teen charged with accidently shooting and killing an 11-year-old boy last year has been sentenced to at least two years in a secure juvenile facility.

The sentence was given by Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Karen Braxton last Monday.

Killed – Boy – Tyler Dunn (Marlette Township, MI)

TOWNSHIP, MI, — A 12-year-old Marlette boy who fatally shot his 11-year-old friend has pleaded guilty to a charge of careless discharge of a firearm.

The boy on April 10 appeared in Sanilac County Circuit Court Juvenile Division. He faces a maximum two-year sentence if the court decides to sentence him as an adult, said Brian Henderson, Sanilac County court administrator.

The boy’s sentencing is set for April 29, Henderson said, and he could not say when Magistrate Heather Zang, who is overseeing the case, will determine if the boy is sentenced as an adult or juvenile.

The victim was identified as Tyler Dunn of Marlette.

During a sleepover in November 2013 at a residence on the 4000 block of Howard in Marlette Township, the 12-year-old was showing Tyler a lever action .30-30 model rifle when it discharged, according to police.

The 12-year-old called 911 after the shooting at about 8:20 p.m. No adults were home at the time, said Sanilac County Sheriff Garry Biniecki in December.

Biniecki said at the time he believed the shooting was accidental.

The boy’s father, Jerry Northrup, will stand trial May 15 on charges of firearm possession by a felon and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Henderson said.

“The lack of adult supervision, the presence of guns, and the failure to take appropriate measures to ensure the guns present in the house were out of reach, contributed to this incident,” said Young in a statement.

A 12-year-old Sanilac County boy who pleaded guilty to reckless discharge of a firearm in the accidental fatal shooting of a friend has now received a sentence that includes 30 days in a detention facility.

The boy will serve 10 days in a facility now. After probation, it will be determined if he will serve the additional time.

The probation terms include living with his mother, being on a tether, community service, attending school, and a strict curfew. Restitution to the family of the victim also must be paid.

SANDUSKY — The Marlette Township father who pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the shooting death of an 11-year-old boy at his house was sentenced to jail June 18.

Jerry Northrup was sentenced to 365 days in jail for firearm possession by a felon and 90 days in jail for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the Sanilac County prosecuting attorney’s office.

Killed – Male Teen – Edwin Rajo (Houston, TX)

HOUSTON — A 16-year-old high school student was fatally shot Saturday night at a southwest Houston apartment, and police now believe it was an accident.

The shooting happened around 8pm in the 6100 block of Bellaire Boulevard near Hillcroft.

Lee High School student Edwin Rajo’s family tells us he was visiting a friend at the Bellaire Garden Apartments when he was shot in the chest. Rajo died at the scene.

According to Houston police, Rajo and two friends were playing with a .45 handgun when it accidentally discharged.

“He always played around with guns like that,” said Sandra Rajo, the victim’s sister. “They were playing with the gun, they thought it wasn’t loaded. They took the clip off, and he said, ‘Okay, act like you are going to shoot me,’ and when she shot [the gun], it actually had a bullet in it.”

Killed – Monica Anderson (Traverse City, MI)

TRAVERSE CITY, MI — A 28-year-old woman is dead after a man said he tried to commit suicide but fired a fatal shot that struck her instead.

The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, at an apartment at 3 Mile Road and Aero Park Drive, UpNorthLive.com is reporting.

The man, 33, suffered a gunshot wound to his hand and underwent surgery at Munson Medical Center, the news station reported.

TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN — The former boyfriend of a Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa tribal citizen, Monica Anderson, 28, was sentenced to 11.5 to 19 years in prison for the shooting her to death last November during what he told law authorities a suicide attempt at the apartment he shared with her.

On March 21, 2014, Robert Caldwell, 33, a non-tribal member, pleaded guilty to accidentally killing Anderson. He pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, discharge of a firearm while under the influence, felony firearm and resisting and obstructing police, according to court records.

A police report states Caldwell told authorities that he drank alcohol, loaded a .45-caliber pistol owned by Anderson and held it to his forehead as he sat at the bottom of their apartment’s staircase.

He told authorities he flinched and the gun fired; a round missed him and struck and mortally wounded Anderson.

Killed – Traci Reedy (Irving, TX)

One woman was killed early Tuesday morning, shot in her hotel room at the Microtel Inn & Suites at the intersection of West Irving Boulevard and Belt Line Road. The single gunshot that struck the victim, police in Irving said, came through the wall of her second floor hotel room.

The shooting happened at about 1:00 a.m. as the woman was in the hotel room with her husband and teenage son. According to police, a single bullet fired from an adjoining hotel room went through the wall and struck the woman. She was rushed to Parkland Hospital in Dallas, but ultimately died. Her husband and son were not injured.

The Dallas County Medical Examiner later identified the victim as 48-year-old Traci Lynn Reedy. She was propped up in bed watching television when the bullet hit her in the chest. She had lived in the motel with her husband and 18-year-old son for the past couple of months.

Michael Shane Gray of Dallas fired the shot that killed Reedy, according to Irving Police. Gray, 36, and a woman were in the room next door to Reedy’s, when police say a handgun Gray was handling discharged–firing a single shot. Gray has been charged with criminally negligent homicide – a charge Reedy’s family is not happy with.

Traci Reedy, 48, checked into a roadside motel with her husband and teenage son in Irving, Texas, on Monday night

Killed – Michael Nugent (San Diego, CA)

San Diego police confiscated several firearms from a Clairemont home after a man’s gun accidentally fired and killed his best friend, officials said.

Officers were investigating the shooting that took place around 1 a.m. Sunday at the home in the 4900-block of Gallatin Way in Northwest Clairemont.

The gun owner was showing his friend a gun when the gun dropped to the ground and fired, shooting the friend in the chest according to San Diego police.

Paramedics found 21-year-old Michael Nugent lying on a house’s front lawn and rushed him to a local hospital, said Lieutenant Mike Hastings.

Nugent died from his wounds Sunday morning.

Allen said the home also serves as a day-care center during the day.

Investigators confiscated several firearms from the home. During the week, the Orr Family Daycare operates out of the home.

Orr said the guns were registered and kept far from the children who she supervised in the at-home daycare.

“The guns were in a $600 safe upstairs. The guns were never out of the safe during daycare hours and the children didn’t go upstairs,” she said.
