Two teenagers’ lives are ruined over an altercation that went too far. According to a report by KETV in Omaha, Neb., Dominique Hollie, 17, was killed by his friend Chris D. Spears, 17, on Feb. 21.
The shooting occurred during a teenage gathering at Hollie’s parents’ home. While in the basement with several other teens, Spears made some sexually suggestive remarks about Hollie’s sister. Hollie took offense to the remarks and retrieved a sawed-off shot gun from his room. Hollie confronted Spears with the gun but other teens intervened before it got out of control. Hollie took the gun back to his room.
A short time later, Spears went to Hollie’s room and grabbed the gun. He returned to the basement and shot Hollie in the face. Hollie died moments later.
Hollie’s family members are confused about how the incident escalated to the point of murder. They considered Spears a close friend to the family.
Spears has been charged with second degree murder.
