Deston Garrett was 19 and a senior at Sacramento Charter High School when he was shot at his home in the 3900 block of 45th Street on the evening of June 9, 2016. Garrett, a well-known football player, was found with severe gunshot wounds, underwent multiple surgeries after being taken to hospital, and died on June 11, 2016 — a week before his scheduled graduation.

Authorities say the shooting followed an argument with a friend, Frederick Marshall, about a YouTube song Garrett had shown him; Garrett reportedly asked Marshall to leave and was then shot. Marshall, 23 at the time, was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail awaiting arraignment. Family, teammates and the community held vigils and memorials; parents Jay and Tanya Garrett spoke of their grief.

Are there details about the night of June 9 that anyone with information can add to help clarify what happened?
