A Marathon man shot and killed his friend after an
altercation Friday night in Marathon.
The 47 year old suspect, Gary Moore, called the Sheriff’s
Office after shooting his 46 year old friend, John Stevens in the stomach with
a shotgun.
The shooting took place at the suspect’s residence, 10660 7th
Avenue Gulfside at 9:30 p.m. Stevens had been staying at the residence for the
past four months in a travel trailer parked on the property. According to
Moore, the victim hit him so he shot him in the stomach with his shotgun. The
victim was dead at the scene. The suspect had a cut over his eye when deputies
took him into custody.
Neighbors heard the shot and helped to direct arriving
deputies to the house where the incident took place. Moore was outside the
residence and was cooperative with law enforcement when they arrived. Witnesses
interviewed about the two men say they got into a physical altercation a couple
of weeks ago as well.
Moore has been charged with manslaughter. He was booked into
jail on the charges this morning.
Johns last name is Stephens not Stevens! Please list more information on here as to why Moore shot my cousin. He should've been charged with premeditated first degree murder instead of manslaughter!!!!!
