Gerson Eusebe, 23, died at the scene in College Park, Georgia, after a pistol he was handling discharged during a Saturday interaction. Clayton police say the firearm had been recently purchased by another 23-year-old man, Tequan Joseph, and that the pistol was being passed between them when Eusebe grabbed the muzzle and the weapon went off. The single shot was fatal.

The shooting was treated as a criminal matter. Tequan Joseph was taken into custody and charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with Eusebe’s death. He was also charged with possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and second-degree forgery after officers located six counterfeit $20 bills during the investigation.

Are there witnesses or additional details about the sequence of events that anyone in the area can share?
