Teen killed by accidental shot
Tuesday, June 13, 2000 | 3:09 a.m.
A 14-year-old was killed Friday afternoon when a gun that he and three other teenagers were playing with was accidentally fired in a North Las Vegas neighborhood near Civic Center Drive and Evans Avenue.
Cesar Enrique Rosales died after being shot about 2:15 p.m. in the back yard of a house in the 2300 block of Oakwood Avenue, according to North Las Vegas Police Lt. Chris Larotonda and the Clark County Coroner's Office.
Initially two of the teenagers, who were all between 15 and 17 years old, told police that someone had peeked over the yard's fence and fired at the victim, Larotonda said, but after individual interviews police learned that the teens had been playing with the gun.
