Feliciano Sergio Sabates IV, known as Chany Boy, was fatally shot on August 2, 2014, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. He was preparing to enroll in Palm Beach State College and was remembered by family and friends as gracious, kind, and fond of the beach.

Police were called to an apartment on the 4000 block of Pinella Circle that evening. DeSantis initially told officers an unknown person had shot Sabates but later said the weapon discharged accidentally while he was pointing it at his friend.

A jury found DeSantis guilty of manslaughter, improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a minor; Judge Glenn Kelley sentenced him to 10 years in prison. Family testimony at trial described the deep and lasting pain both families suffered.

Did anyone who knew Feliciano or was in that area on August 2, 2014, ever come forward with additional details?
