Olivia Stull, an 18-year-old from Parma, Ohio, was fatally shot in the chest on February 3, 2016, at her Brooklyn apartment in Cleveland. Medics took her to MetroHealth Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. The shooting was carried out by her 21-year-old roommate, Michael Lancaster. Lancaster told authorities he did not realize the gun was loaded when it fired.

He was taken into custody and later charged with reckless homicide, appearing in court the next day with bond set at $25,000. Friends and family described Olivia as a loving daughter, sister, and granddaughter who championed the hurt, the troubled, and the underdog; many shared memories and condolences after her death. The investigation concentrated on the circumstances of the shooting and Lancaster’s claim that he didn’t know the firearm was loaded.

Was anyone in the building familiar with the roommate situation or the type of firearm involved that night?
