Jonathan Delacroix was 18 when he was killed on May 9, 2015, in the 1600 block of 12th Street in Lafayette, Louisiana. A gathering of teenagers ended in a fatal shooting after a pistol was handled among peers; Delacroix was struck in the face by a single gunshot, rushed to a local hospital, and later died.

Police reports say 18-year-old Anthony Belony was handling the pistol and told detectives he believed it was unloaded. Belony pointed the gun at Delacroix and pulled the trigger. Lafayette Police arrested Belony and charged him with negligent homicide; he was also charged with possession of marijuana.

The case underscores the deadly consequences when firearms are treated carelessly. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Jonathan or others present?
