David Christian was 18 when he was fatally shot on August 24, 2015, while visiting a friend’s home in west Phoenix near 75th Avenue and Indian School Road. A small group of teens or young adults was present when a handgun being handled inside the residence discharged; responding officers found Christian dead of a single gunshot wound.

Phoenix police identified 19-year-old Marcus Kennedy as the person who had been holding the firearm. Kennedy told officers he dropped the gun and it fired when it hit the floor. He was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter; prosecutors later accepted a guilty plea to negligent homicide and a judge sentenced Kennedy to five years in state prison in March 2016.

Christian was remembered locally as someone who loved skating, worked at a skating rink, and was known by the nickname DAC. Does anyone who knew David or was in that neighborhood that night have information to share?
