On the evening of October 26, 2017, 15-year-old Quinterius Wooten was fatally shot in the backyard of a Forest Park, Georgia home. His two teenage companions, aged 14 and 15, first told police the shooting came from a passing vehicle on Boca Grande Boulevard, but their accounts soon proved inconsistent.

Under further questioning the teens admitted there had been no drive-by. The three had been in a shed behind the residence, smoking marijuana and handling a firearm when the 15-year-old accidentally discharged the weapon, striking Quinterius. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. The gun was later linked to a vehicle theft in Ellenwood about two weeks earlier.

The 15-year-old who fired the shot was charged as a juvenile with involuntary manslaughter, possession of a weapon by a minor, and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. The 14-year-old was charged with obstruction of an officer for the false report; their names were not released because they are minors.

Did anyone in Forest Park have contact with Quinterius or the teens in the days before October 26 who could add details about what happened?
