Descripción del sitio
Trenton Joseph (T.J.) Lester, 15. Fatally shot by his friend, Cody James Ward, 18, in Ward's Forest Grove home. Police were summoned at about 5:30 p.m. to the home in the 1600 block of Poplar Place. Both Ward and his 14-year-old girlfriend told police that Lester and Ward were horsing around with a shotgun that likely belonged to Ward's father. They apparently stopped for a time, but while Lester was sitting on the back patio near the girl, Ward walked up to Lester and shot him in the head "from fairly close range," police said. On Dec. 1, 2011, Ward pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide with a firearm. He also pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a short-barrel shotgun and one count of third-degree rape involving his girlfriend. He was sentenced to four years in prison.
