Tony Edward Cronin, 37, was shot and killed at his father’s home on Tanglewood Drive in Chandler, Indiana, during a confrontation on the evening of February 11, 2016. The visit followed multiple calls from Tony to his father that day. During the confrontation Tony allegedly grabbed the barrel, aimed the gun at his own head, and dared his father to shoot; Roy Cronin then fired.

Tony Cronin was pronounced dead at the scene and the shotgun and ammunition were recovered from the home. Roy Cronin called 911, was arrested, and initially faced a murder charge that was later reduced to voluntary manslaughter. A plea agreement in March 2017 resulted in guilty pleas to the lesser charge with deferred sentencing, house arrest with GPS monitoring for two years and a year of reporting probation, with provision for conversion to an involuntary manslaughter conviction if conditions were met.

Does anyone have additional details about Tony’s life in Chandler or witnesses to the February 11, 2016 confrontation?
