On April 17, 2014, 29-year-old Jason Vanostran of Kalamazoo was fatally shot inside a mobile home in Kalamazoo Township, Michigan, during a family gathering. The incident was initially described by Jason’s brother-in-law, Timothy Salo, as a suicide. Investigators later determined Salo had fired the shot that struck Vanostran in the head. Salo was arrested and, in January 2016, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. At sentencing he said the shooting was an accident; the court imposed a prison term of more than 18 years. The victim’s mother, Krista Vanostran, has spoken about the devastating impact of her son’s death on the family.

Does anyone have information about Jason’s life or the circumstances that day that could help clarify what happened?
