20-year old Keaton Sexton died today in Frankfort, Kentucky when a bullet passed through his apartment wall.  Another 20-year-old, Trevor Fridenmaker, of Frankfort, was handling a pistol in the next apartment when it accidentally discharged.

“There’s no belief there was any ill intent,” a Police Captain said.  “Through investigation, it was determined the round that hit the wall and took the life of the victim came from across the hall,” he added. 

Fridenmaker was arrested and charged with second degree manslaughter.  He is being held on $50,000 bail.
