Daniel John Krysalka, 20, of Ocala, Florida, was killed on March 8, 2015, in a bedroom at a residence in Ocala. A friend, Jefferson Davis Guinn IV, 20, was handling a Kel-Tec 9mm handgun that had not been cleaned and became difficult to reassemble. After watching a YouTube video and having another friend, Ethan Logan Hayhurst, help put the gun back together, Guinn loaded the firearm, chambered a round and pointed it at Krysalka’s face. The gun went off, striking Krysalka; he fell backward and was later pronounced dead after lifesaving efforts by first responders.

Guinn was arrested at the scene after waiving his right to speak and was charged in connection with the shooting. Investigators learned Guinn had pointed the gun at someone at a party the previous night and had been chastised for that behavior. Krysalka had been a former Forest High School kicker and a University of Florida walk-on who enjoyed football, soccer, hunting and fishing and had planned to go fishing with his father and uncle the morning he died.

Does anyone have memories of Daniel or information about the events that led up to that morning?
