Fifteen-year-old Arya Gray of Miami died after being shot in the head on May 12, 2020, at an apartment rented by 17-year-old friend Thalys Oliveira. The shooting happened during a gathering; Oliveira pointed a gun at Arya and pulled the trigger, later saying he did not know the weapon was loaded. Arya was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Oliveira was arrested and initially charged with manslaughter with a deadly weapon and two misdemeanor weapons counts. He pled not guilty at first and later entered a guilty plea. At sentencing Judge Teresa Pooler described the act of pointing a gun and pulling the trigger as deliberate and reckless and imposed a term of 11 years and six months in prison followed by five years of probation. Family members, including Arya’s sister Sasha Gray who was at the scene and called 911, spoke of their grief and called for greater awareness about gun safety.

Does anyone have information about the people who were at that gathering or about firearm access by minors in that neighborhood?
