Nineteen-year-old Dustin J. Osborne of Louisville died on April 14, 2016, from a gunshot wound to the chest at the home of a friend near Churchill Downs. Police arrested 18-year-old Rion Graves in connection with the shooting; Graves admitted to firing the gun but said the shooting was an accident as Osborne was handing the weapon back. Graves had recently bought the firearm for self-defense after being stabbed, and he called 911 and tried to perform CPR after the shooting.

Graves was charged with murder, entered a not guilty plea on his behalf, and was placed on house arrest after posting part of a $200,000 bond. The commonwealth’s attorney was expected to offer a plea deal. The death profoundly affected Dustin’s family, including his father, Charles Osborne, and his sister, Destiny Osborne.

Does anyone have information about Dustin’s last hours or the events at the home near Churchill Downs?
