The deaths were the sort of everyday murders, suicides and accidents that may not grab the headlines of mass shootings, but in many ways show the true toll of the gun violence endemic to the United States. More than 36,000 people are shot to death every year on average in America, according to U.S. government
- A boy accidentally killed by his father during a fishing trip in Montana. A woman dead and her husband behind bars after a single gunshot in a Dallas hotel room. A teenager cut down on his porch on a warm day in Washington state.
Here are some of the victims of deadly shootings during the week between the attack in Gilroy and the attack in Dayton:Soon after a gunman opened fire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, Steven Parsons was sitting in a parked car with two other people 1,500 miles away in an alley in Kansas City, Missouri.
Parsons had a sense of adventure as a boy, his father, Steve Parsons, said at the service."We'd be cruising along in the old white van and he'd say, 'What's that way?' and so we'd turn and go that way," Parsons said. She loved '90s pop music, especially the boy band NSYNC, and collected concert tickets in a box of memories. One of six children, she was known for checking in frequently with her younger siblings."How do we explain to those little angels that their parents are both not going to be there anymore, ya know?" Parguian's mother said in an interview.
Nicholas, 30, was arrested and charged with his wife's murder. He was later released on a $250,000 bond. An attorney for Nicholas did not respond to a request for comment. A schoolmate of Jamone's who makes music under the name KiingCalebb recorded a rap tribute to his friend called"MonesWrld." The lyrics include oblique references to gang rivalries.
In an interview, Fantroy's mother, Rhonda Comer, switched back and forth between using her daughter's preferred name, Kiki, and her birth name, Marquis, and between masculine and feminine pronouns.Fantroy always had a flair for fashion, Comer said. Police later arrested a 17-year-old boy and charged him with murder after a witness picked him out of a lineup.Caden Lacunza, 11, had finished cleaning one fish and was just starting on the second one he had caught near Crow Creek Falls in rural Montana when he was shot in the head.
At the scene, officers retrieved Lacunza's revolver, the cylinder still loaded except for a single spent round. In the river, about 10 feet from where Caden collapsed, they found a cleaned fish; the other fish was on the ground where the boy had dropped it, a small cut in its belly and a knife lying nearby.Deante Strickland came running out of his grandparents' house in Portland, Oregon, in mid-afternoon, bleeding from the chest.
"Everybody is of the belief that this isn't who Tamena is," he said, adding that many family members attended her initial court appearance on Monday in support of both her and her brother. Tamena Strickland has not entered a plea and remains in custody in the Multnomah County Detention Center. "He came back in the house to lay his clothes out because he was a neat freak," she said."Then he left to go down the street to show the neighbours the phone he just got."
