Renee Chaires, 39, of Tallahassee died on September 13, 2014, after being shot at a family gathering at her brother Eric Stayton’s home in the Chaires Community. The family had been celebrating her and her daughter’s birthdays when Stayton, 50, reportedly attempted to reenact a scene from the movie Tombstone by twirling a gun. The weapon slipped, fell, and discharged, striking Renee in the neck; she later died of her injuries despite efforts to save her.

The Leon County Sheriff’s Office investigated the shooting and did not immediately charge Stayton while gathering facts. The investigation concluded the shooting was accidental. Renee was remembered as a wife, mother, and owner of La Sorelle Salon who supported the North Florida Homeless Veterans Stand-down program.

Did anyone in the Chaires area see or hear about the gathering that night or know Renee and her family?
