BROCKTON - The suspect in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old had been brandishing a gun at one another a few days before the firearm went off Tuesday during an incident involving a video game.
Asking for a video game, William Suarez, 18, pointed the gun at Olivier Baptiste and twice pulled the trigger before the weapon fired, shooting Baptiste in the head, according to court documents.
The boy died an hour later at a local hospital.
Suarez, of 317 Battles Farm Drive, pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter, illegal possession of a firearm, assault with a dangerous weapon, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling at his arraignment in Brockton District Court on Wednesday.
