Jaonta Wyche, 20, was killed by a gunshot in his Chesapeake, Virginia, home on April 29, 2017. The shooting happened in the South Norfolk section while Wyche and his roommate, 21-year-old Juan Perry, were reportedly handling a shotgun they believed to be unloaded. Perry pulled the trigger; the shot struck and killed Wyche.

Authorities investigated and charged Perry with voluntary manslaughter. He later entered an Alford plea, acknowledging prosecutors had sufficient evidence to likely secure a conviction while not admitting guilt. Under a plea agreement he received a suspended 10-year sentence tied to completion of a youthful offender program that could keep him incarcerated for up to four years and provide vocational training.

What details about that night or the people involved might help explain how a fatal shot occurred during what was described as horseplay?
