Two details frame Justin Lee Murphy Jr’s death: he was 2 years old and he died of a gunshot wound to the torso on October 14, 2017. The shooting occurred at a home in Decatur, Illinois; police found the injured child that Saturday morning and he was later pronounced dead at a local hospital, with Macon County Coroner Michel Day listing the cause as a gunshot wound to the torso.

Authorities arrested 17-year-old Zachary Pherigo and charged him as an adult with first-degree murder, aggravated battery, aggravated discharge of a weapon, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. Pherigo was held on $500,000 bond and his first court appearance was recorded while he remained in the Peoria County Juvenile Detention Center. Reports say the shooting happened during a game of cops and robbers when Pherigo allegedly held a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun to Justin’s side and pulled the trigger, not realizing it was loaded.

Does anyone have information about that household or the events leading up to the shooting?
