Greg Carlson, 54, was fatally shot in the face in Denver on November 21, 2015. His death was not reported for four days; a man who identified himself as Carlson’s best friend, Joel Sovine, contacted authorities on November 25 and initially said he was suicidal and had killed Carlson.

Sovine’s accounts of the shooting changed. He first described the gun discharging as he tried to set it down. In a later jailhouse interview he claimed he and Carlson had played a dangerous game for years, pointing guns at each other and pulling triggers; he said Carlson’s gun clicked that day, then the weapon he pointed fired and struck Carlson in the head. Prosecutors charged Sovine with first-degree murder, rejecting the accident or game narratives.

Carlson was a Marine veteran and is survived by a son, a brother, a sister, and a grandson. Does anyone have information about Carlson’s final days or the relationship between him and Joel Sovine?
