Seventeen-year-old Robin Moscoso-Hernandez of Bethpage died after a single gunshot to the chest while visiting a friend in North Amityville. The shooting occurred inside the bedroom of 20-year-old Bryan Ventura-Ramirez on Francine Avenue on a Saturday evening; Moscoso-Hernandez was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip, underwent surgery, and died later that night after the bullet pierced his heart and liver.

Ventura-Ramirez was taken into custody at the scene and charged with manslaughter and criminal possession of a firearm. His defense says the shooting was an accident: Ventura-Ramirez allegedly believed a 9mm ghost gun made with a 3D printer and lacking a serial number was unloaded when he pointed it at Moscoso-Hernandez and pulled the trigger. He initially told police the victim shot himself, then later admitted to pointing the gun and pulling the trigger while believing the magazine was out.

Ventura-Ramirez pleaded not guilty and was later indicted by a grand jury on second-degree manslaughter, criminal possession of a firearm, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon; bail was set at $100,000 cash or a $300,000 bond. His lawyer said Ventura-Ramirez was distraught and that the victim’s parents supported him and his family, calling it an accident. Is there anyone who knew Robin or was at the home that evening who can shed light on what happened?
