Christopher Dewayne Wright was 16 when he died in Lake Charles, Louisiana, on February 23, 2017. A student at LaGrange High School, Wright was reportedly engaged in horse playing with another 16-year-old, Braylon Holley, in the 1700 block of Rena Street when one of two loaded firearms discharged and struck Wright.

After the shooting, Holley fled and discarded a semi-automatic pistol in the 1100 block of North Cherry Street before being located by Lake Charles police. He was initially charged with negligent homicide, illegal possession of a handgun, and being a runaway. The Calcasieu Parish District Attorney’s Office later decided Holley would be tried as an adult and a grand jury indicted him on manslaughter; an arrest warrant was issued and he was ordered held without bond after transfer from juvenile detention to the parish correctional center.

Does anyone have information about Christopher’s last day or the 1700 block of Rena Street that could help clarify what happened?
