Johnathon Scott Chavis, 19, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, died on September 5, 2018, after a gunshot to the head at about 1 a.m. He was at a friend’s house on Windy Hill Circle and was reportedly playing with guns with 18-year-old Michael Ray Toler Jr. The Fayetteville Police Department responded shortly after the shooting and Johnathon died at the scene.

Michael Ray Toler Jr. was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter and possession of a handgun by a minor. During a 911 call Toler said he thought the safety was on when the gun discharged and expressed remorse, and he was held in the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $200,000 secured bond.

Johnathon was born October 25, 1998, and was described as someone who loved music, fashion and video games. Are there any friends or witnesses who can add context about that night or about the firearm’s handling?
