Tracy J. Wheat II was 19 when he was shot in the head at a home in the 6100 block of West Delaware County Road 350-N in Muncie, Indiana, on July 23, 2017. He was taken to I.U. Health Ball Memorial Hospital and died later that evening, surrounded by family. Tracy is remembered for his green eyes, double dimples, graduation from the Muncie Area Career Center and plans to join the U.S. Navy.

Investigators say Dillon Gage Jackson, 20, fired the shot. Jackson told authorities the shooting was an accident that occurred during horseplay, claiming he forgot the handgun was loaded. Witnesses offered conflicting accounts: at least one described a loud, unfriendly confrontation between Jackson and Wheat, and another said Tracy had expressed fear of Jackson earlier that morning.

Jackson was arrested and charged with murder, pointing a firearm and criminal recklessness; a jury later convicted him of reckless homicide and sentenced him to eight years in prison. Tracy’s father also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Jackson’s father alleging negligent access to the firearm and a delay in seeking emergency medical help.
