Victoria Tori Lynn Busch, 19, of Panama City Beach, Florida, was fatally shot in the neck inside a beach condo on September 7, 2020. The shooting occurred during a gathering of young adults in which several people had brought firearms. Spencer Chase Pruitt later said the death happened while he was playing with a gun, describing a practice of partially inserting a magazine and pulling the trigger while pointing the weapon at others; on this occasion a round was in the chamber and the gun discharged, striking Busch.

Pruitt was arrested and charged with manslaughter and booked into the Bay County Jail with bond set at $200,000. The prosecution argued his conduct was reckless and showed a disregard for human life; the defense described the shooting as an accident. Family testimony at trial detailed the devastating impact of Busch’s death.

In December 2021, Spencer Chase Pruitt was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the manslaughter of Tori Busch. If anyone knew Tori, was at that condo, or has information about what happened that day, please come forward.
