14-åring misstänks för mord efter att ha skjutit ihjäl 12-årig vän i Atlanta

En 14-årig pojke i Georgia har åtalats för mord efter att ha skjutit ihjäl sin 12-årige vän, Cameron Coney, i ett hem i Atlanta. Händelsen inträffade på lördagseftermiddagen när den misstänkte hanterade ett skjutvapen tillsammans med vänner. Polisen förde den namnlöse tonåringen till ett ungdomsfängelse.

Atlantapolisen ryckte ut strax före klockan 14.00 på lördagen till ett hem i kvarteret 1800 på Lathrop Street SE, där de fann Cameron Coney med en skottskada. Ambulanspersonal förde honom till sjukhus, men hans liv gick inte att rädda och han dödförklarades där. Den 14-årige misstänkte, vars identitet inte röjs på grund av hans ålder, står inför en mordanklagelse, uppger polisen. Han har förts till Metro Youth Detention Center, och inget datum för nästa domstolsförhandling har ännu meddelats. Familjemedlemmar berättade för ABC-dotterbolaget WSB-TV att Cameron hade vänner på besök i hemmet och att en av tonåringarna hade tagit med sig ett vapen. Camerons faster, Latosha Coney, sa: 'Vi fick veta att en av dem riktade vapnet mot alla vännerna, och när turen kom till Cameron var det riktat mot hans bröst.' 14-åringen ska därefter ha tryckt av, även om polisen ännu inte klargjort om händelsen var oavsiktlig eller uppsåtlig. En GoFundMe-sida som upprättats av familjen beskriver Cameron som en 'fjantig och lekfull ung pojke som var känd för att få folk att skratta med sina skämt.' Det framgår även att skjutningen inträffade i hans eget rum, med tillägget: 'Ingen familj ska någonsin behöva uthärda den här sortens smärta.'
