Christopher Samuel McWhorter, 35, of Killeen, Texas, was shot during an early-morning altercation on June 1, 2020, and later died at Darnall Army Medical Center. He was born July 29, 1984, in Springfield, Missouri, and grew up in Southwest Missouri. McWhorter enjoyed camping and fishing and worked in jobs including home security installation and with BNSF on the railroad.

The confrontation involved 27-year-old Sean Thomas Bordelon of Killeen. According to an affidavit, the two argued about fixing vehicles that morning; Bordelon left the house, McWhorter followed, and a struggle ensued during which Bordelon said the gun fired accidentally. Witnesses reported hearing screaming and seeing the men on the ground, with one person attempting CPR. A firearm and a separated magazine were recovered at the scene, and Bordelon was arrested and charged with manslaughter.

McWhorter is survived by his wife Andrea LeighAnn McWhorter and their children Isaiah, Landyn, and Kristynn. Does anyone have information about that morning or saw either man before the shooting?
