Daryus Johnson was 19 when he was shot and killed in Marietta, Georgia, on Tuesday, June 24, 2014. The shooting occurred at the Bentley Manor Apartments and was described by police as accidental; Johnson’s roommate, 19-year-old Elyjah Marrow, discharged a handgun while handling it recklessly and Johnson was struck. Emergency crews found Johnson unconscious and he was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Marietta police said the shooting resulted from Marrow’s failure to follow proper firearm safety. Marrow was arrested and held without bond at the Cobb County Jail on charges that included involuntary manslaughter, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, reckless conduct, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of a stolen firearm. A Cobb County grand jury later indicted Marrow on involuntary manslaughter and related offenses, and he was released on bond pending trial.

Does anyone have information about that night at Bentley Manor Apartments or knew Daryus and can help clarify what happened?
