The accidental fatal shooting of a Sugar Land teen will be referred to a grand jury without charges.
Kenneth Valencia, 18, was shot in the chest Saturday afternoon at a friend’s Houston apartment.
HPD said the two were playing with Valencia’s gun. Valencia tackled his friend, who was holding the gun, causing it to go off.
Valencia was taken to Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital, where he died.

This was a reood friend of mine and from the small blurb atis here about how ut happened doesn’t seem likely…more than likely the gun was his older brother’s whom he looked up to…and Kenny was dumb but not stupid he wouldn’t have tackled him while the guy had the gun…
