Patrick Alexander Spitler was 20 when he died at home in Jackson, Michigan, on Saturday, December 6, 2014. A graduate of Northwest Community Schools taking classes at Jackson Community College, he worked at Gordon Food Service and the YMCA and was described as warm, friendly, and athletic with a love of running and golf.

Authorities say the shooting was not random but occurred inside the family home. Patrick’s then-16-year-old brother, Riley Spitler, told detectives he pointed a handgun at Patrick, removed a bullet from the chamber, and said let’s see if it’s your lucky day. Riley said he did not expect the gun to fire; the weapon discharged and Patrick was struck in the chest and killed.

Riley was arrested and charged following the shooting, and the family’s loss was publicly voiced at court proceedings. Is there anyone who knew Patrick or the family who can share memories or information about what happened that day?
