An 18-year-old Minneapolis man faces second-degree manslaughter charges for fatally shooting his teenage friend in the head while playing with a gun.
Torrance Hennessy Robinson is in the Hennepin County jail in lieu of $100,000 bail for the death of David Andre Fields, who died shortly after being shot in a north Minneapolis house late Saturday.
Robinson told police he brought a loaded revolver to a house in the 2600 block of Logan Avenue N., and began jokingly pulling the trigger, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
He apparently hit Fields, the complaint said. Fields later died at North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale.
Robinson ran from the scene and was later caught by police. He has had previous charges for second-degree assaults in two separate incidents.
It is the city's third homicide this month; none was recorded in January.
