David J. Graham was 20 when he died on March 13, 2017, while celebrating his birthday with friends in unincorporated Lake Villa, Illinois. When they returned to the vehicle, Gonzalez—sitting in the back seat—accidentally discharged the shotgun and Graham was struck in the head. He was taken to Northwestern Medicine Grayslake Outpatient Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Gonzalez was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, possession of a sawed-off shotgun and lacking a Firearm Owners Identification card. Investigators also developed a connection between Gonzalez and an October 2016 residential burglary in Ingleside through facts uncovered during the probe. Toxicology testing by the Lake County Coroner’s Office found that drugs or alcohol were not factors. Family members described the death as a tragic accident; the other people present were treated as witnesses and were not charged.
