police have arrested Demetrius Lmar McDonald in connection with the
shooting. He was inside the home at the time of the shooting.
Police said McDonald is a felon and possessing a shotgun is prohibited.
After being questioned by police, McDonald was arrested for 3rd Degree Felony Possession of Firearm by a felon.
McDonald’s bond is set at $75,000. Police say additional charges may be considered by police after the full investigation.
More proof that being a felon in possession of a gun is treated more seriously than allowing a kid to kill themselves with a gun. When determining who gets arrested, being black doesn't hurt either.
