Henderson Teen Charged With Murder
(Henderson-AP) -- It was Dustin Osborn's 14th birthday -- and he and his 15-year-old pal, Jake Reeder, found a gun at Reeder's apartment.
Now, Osborn's dead and Reeder's charged with murder in the latest in a series of shootings involving teens playing with guns in southern Nevada.
Henderson police arrested Reeder shortly after the slaying yesterday morning at the Palm Villas Apartments off Whitney Ranch Drive near Sunset and Stephanie.
One of Reeder's friends say he can't believe what happened.
He didn't seem like a kid who would do that," said Brandon Means. "I used to skate with him like every day for about a year, then he just kind of drifted away."
It was the third shooting in less than a month involving a teenager killed or wounded by another teen handling a handgun.
14-year-old Erica Mendoza was shot and killed by her 15-year-old brother March 29th in their Las Vegas apartment.
And a 13-year-old Las Vegas boy was wounded in the stomach while a friend handled a gun April fourth in the garage of a home in northeast Las Vegas.
end story...
Whoooo Boy. 3 times so far this month in Las Vegas, kids FINDING guns and shooting friends while playing around.
The story listed above, it was the victims 14th birthday, they'd been smoking pot, found the gun (get this) in the washing machine or dryer where mom hid it... gonna charge the 15 year old w/ 2nd degree. Haven't heard anything about the mom, but she should be charged with criminal stupidity and as an accomplice IMO.
Sad but true. Hard to find anything positive to say about it. Except maybe about where to or how NOT to store a loaded firearm.
