On October 17, 2018, 18-year-old Austin McGuire was fatally shot in a home in the Town of Lisbon near Sussex, Wisconsin. Austin, described as a young man who loved cars and was enrolled in a welding program at Milwaukee Area Technical College, was found collapsed in the kitchen after a single gunshot to the chest. He was pronounced dead at Community Memorial Hospital.
A 21-year-old friend called 911 and said Austin had handed him a handgun after removing the magazine; the caller believed the weapon was unloaded but a round remained in the chamber. Deputies recovered a spent .22 caliber shell casing, a handgun, and drug paraphernalia at the scene. The shooting was initially investigated as accidental, and the friend was taken into custody for questioning; no charges had been filed as of the latest reports.
Does anyone have information about Austin, the household where this happened, or what led to that night that could help clarify the events?
