Warren Christopher Lee Wimberly was 14 when he died after being shot at a sleepover in Moss Bluff, Louisiana, on Saturday, May 26, 2018. Emergency responders were called but the wound proved fatal. He had just finished 8th grade at Moss Bluff Middle School and was looking forward to starting high school.

Friends and family remembered Warren as a vibrant, energetic teenager who enjoyed riding his 4-wheeler, swimming and dancing. The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation; officers said the other juvenile did not realize the firearm was loaded when it discharged and reports described the shooting as accidental. It is not stated whether any arrests or charges were filed afterward.

If anyone attended that gathering or has information about the gun involved, please come forward.
