Reginald Von Wright Jr., an 18-year-old from Cocoa, Florida, died from a gunshot wound on February 10, 2014. The shooting happened about 4:13 p.m. at 3648 Tomlin Drive. According to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Department, Wright was struck in the chest after entering a home where 25-year-old Steven Donte Speed was repairing an AR-15 in the living room. Speed said the weapon discharged while he was handling it; Wright was taken by air to Holmes Regional Medical Center and later died.

The Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit and Crime Scene Unit investigated. Major Tod Goodyear said the shooting appeared accidental and there was no initial evidence of foul play. Speed cooperated and described the events, and an autopsy was scheduled. Investigators planned to forward findings to the State Attorney’s Office to decide whether charges would be filed, depending on proof of recklessness or negligence. No charges had been filed at the time of this report.

Does anyone have information about what happened at that address or about the events earlier that afternoon?
