Raymond David Andrews, 22, of New Bern, North Carolina, died from a gunshot wound to the head on June 18, 2014, in Havelock, North Carolina. The shooting occurred in the Nightmare Factory haunted house parking lot while Andrews and a friend were handling firearms. Andrews had been holding an unloaded gun; his friend later loaded the weapon. Unaware it was loaded, Andrews jokingly held the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.

Havelock Police and Havelock Fire/EMS paramedics responded; Andrews was pronounced dead at the scene. The police investigation concluded the shooting was accidental and no charges were filed against the friend. Friends and colleagues remembered Andrews for his performances as The Doctor and Diddles the Clown at the Nightmare Factory; a memorial was held there with messages and candles, and the attraction planned to incorporate a memorial into that season’s theme.

If anyone knew Andrews or was at the Nightmare Factory that night, does any detail from that evening still need clarification?
