Christopher Cammarata was 21 when he died following a domestic incident in Utica, Michigan, on May 9, 2020. Police were called to the family home on Glen Eagle Drive for family trouble; the call was updated to report gunfire while officers were en route. Officers found Christopher wounded and paramedics took him to a local hospital, where he died later that day.

Investigators reported Christopher had recently been laid off and had been drinking heavily. An argument with his stepsister reportedly escalated and Christopher brandished a handgun. His 27-year-old brother intervened; during a struggle for control of the weapon the gun discharged and Christopher was struck. The brother cooperated with police, and authorities treated the shooting as self-defense. No arrests were made and no charges were filed.

Christopher’s family and friends remembered him as fun-loving and caring. If anyone knew Christopher or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
