Skyler Miller, 19, died after being shot in the head at a house party in Toronto, Ohio on August 21, 2022. The shooting occurred at a home on West Fernwood Avenue during a gathering where attendees were drinking. Prosecutor Jane Hanlin says the death resulted from a game of Russian roulette played with a loaded revolver.
A juvenile has been charged with reckless homicide with a firearm specification; 18-year-old Matthew Lumpkin has been charged with tampering with evidence for allegedly removing the weapon from the scene. Hanlin said there was no evidence of an argument or fight between the juvenile and Miller before the shooting. Investigators reported it took more than 20 minutes before anyone called 911, and Miller was pronounced dead after being taken to Trinity Medical Center West. The absence of adults at the party was highlighted as a troubling factor.
Does anyone have information about who attended that West Fernwood Avenue party or what led to a loaded gun being brought there?
