Jamelle James, the uncle who owned the .32-caliber pistol used in the shooting, was sentenced for leaving the gun in a shoe box in his bedroom.[9] He eventually pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter and spent two years and five months in prison before he was released on probation. The other adults involved would be in and out of court systems in the years to follow.[1] A search of James's house produced a loaded pump-action shotgun and a rock of crack cocaine.

On the twentieth anniversary of the shooting on February 29, 2020, news media reported that the boy who shot Kayla Rolland was living in Bay City, Michigan. According to court records, he had been convicted at age 18 of a felony in connection with charges of second-degree home invasion and larceny at a Bay City house on April 23, 2012.[10]

I find it weird that in these sections of the wiki, they do not mention the shooter's name, Dedrick Owens.

@Hyperhidrosis @Lyx This story led me down a rabbit hole and I want to get Fedi's resident lawyer @Humpleupagus 's opinion on it.

So the gun used by the boy was a Davis Industries P-32. I never heard of the company. Turns out Davis produced a series of inexpensive handguns, which were sold primarily through pawn shops and marketed towards people with low income

Then I learned that Davis Industries was sued out of existence.. I found this law research paper which sites that NYT article. It advocates for the practice of suing gun companies :kaos_wtf:
