At approximately 2:00 Saturday morning, Evansville Police and medical crews were called to 528 S Linwood for a reported shooting. Officers located an 18 year old victim at the scene.
Investigators determined a 15 year old was in possession of a handgun in the home and was handling it in a reckless manner. Investigators believe the gun discharged while the juvenile was handling it. The bullet penetrated a wall and struck the victim, who was in another area of the house. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he later died.
The juvenile was placed at the Youth Care Center on the following charges:
Reckless Homicide, Involuntary Manslaughter, Criminal Recklessness, and Possession of a Handgun without a Permit.
The name of the victim will be released by the Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office following the notification of his family.
