The boy was hit in the head.  Tapia-Perez, age 27, was arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter, possession of a stolen gun and “alien in possession of a firearm.”  He is cooperating with police.

     In St. Johns, Michigan, Jesse Xavier Osga-Groves, age 24, is charged with “death by weapon aimed with intent but without malice” after accidentally killing Brandon Chunko.  At a party, one of the guests took out some weapons to show guests and Osga-Groves apparently fired and struck Chunko with intent to aim one of the weapons but not to fire it.  Osga-Groves is being held on $200,000 bail.
