A 20-year-old Longwood man has passed away from injuries suffered as a result of a possible accidental shooting, authorities say.


Seminole County deputies responded to Dunwoody Commons condominiums over the weekend in reference to a call reporting a shooting.  Once on scene, they found Christopher Negron with a gunshot wound to his head.

Austin Jones, 19, of Sanford, was arrested in connection to the shooting and charged with manslaughter. 

According to witnesses, Jones was showing a handgun to two friends. They indicated that Jones believed the gun was unloaded when he cocked it and pulled the trigger, causing the gun to fire a single bullet that struck Negron just above the eye.
Jones is currently being held at the John E. Polk correction facility on a no bond status.

Now, what was so hard about that?  Were his civil rights violated by such a swift arrest? Why was there no need for a lengthy investigation?
