On May 21, 2022, one-year-old Octavia Jean Huber-Young was fatally shot at a family home in Wells, Maine. Andrew left the house but later returned and allegedly fired a handgun through a locked glass door while Octavia was in her father’s arms. The gunfire struck Octavia, her father, and her grandfather; the two men suffered non-life-threatening injuries, while Octavia later died at a hospital. Her mother described her as a child who was full of life and always loved to smile and play.

Andrew Huber-Young drove to the Wells police station and reported the shooting. He was arrested and charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder, and two counts of aggravated assault. He pleaded not guilty. Pretrial proceedings have included motions over the admissibility of his statements and a postponement of the trial for a competency evaluation; his defense says he did not intend to harm his niece and was unaware she had died until hours after the shooting.

Does anyone have information about Octavia, the family, or events in Wells on May 21, 2022 that could help clarify what happened?
