On the evening of September 11, 2015, at the Fort Riley military installation in Kansas, 16-year-old Kenyon Givens Jr was shot in the chest and died. Military police responding to the call were told by 19-year-old Juwuan D. Jackson that a masked intruder had forced into the home and shot Kenyon. That account prompted a search for the supposed assailant and the weapon and delayed medical aid to Kenyon.

Investigators later determined there had been no intruder. Jackson admitted he had been handling a loaded .22 caliber revolver, spun the chamber with his finger on the trigger, and the gun discharged, killing Kenyon. Jackson was charged with involuntary manslaughter, pleaded guilty, and in January 2017 was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $5,000 in funeral restitution.

If anyone knew Kenyon or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
