Fifteen-year-old Kevin Barbee was fatally shot on January 28, 2014, in an apartment in Hermitage, Tennessee. He was with 17-year-old Kaemon Robinson and two other people when, according to witness statements, Robinson was playing with a pistol that discharged and struck Barbee in the face. Barbee was taken to Summit Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Robinson fled the scene before police arrived but surrendered later that night after an attorney contacted authorities. He was taken into custody and initially charged with criminal homicide; he ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of reckless homicide in juvenile court. The victim’s mother, who had at first wanted Robinson tried as an adult, later forgave him, and the plea agreement meant Robinson was expected to be released in under two years.

If anyone was in that Hermitage apartment or saw events surrounding the shooting, did you notice anything that could clarify what happened in the moments before the gun discharged?
