On July 30, 2024, 16-year-old David Anthony Vargas Acker was shot and killed inside a residence in the 1100 block of Easton Street in Orange County, Florida. The shooting occurred before 1 a.m. while Acker, his girlfriend and another friend were in the home.

Investigators say Acker had brought a gun to the residence to show the others. The three were reportedly posing with and pointing the firearm at one another when the girl, 16, pointed it at Acker and pulled the trigger. Deputies found Acker with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. After investigation and consultation with the State Attorney’s Office, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for the 16-year-old girl. She was taken into custody and is being held at a juvenile detention center on an aggravated manslaughter of a child charge.

What details about the night or the firearm might help explain how this became fatal, and can anyone who was there or has information about the residence contact investigators?
