I think the parents should be charged!

JUST to SET the records straight for all of you who THINK you know whats going on and what happened, these "kids" were 18+ years of age, Aaron, "lil iron" was one of my REALLY good friends, i dont even know how these folks had a gun, but regardless they are not kids, the parents have nothing to do with it, these boys have their have own apartment, well HAD seeing how that FINE YOUNG LADY cthought it would cool to play with a loaded fire arm, YES this is a tragedy, because instead of calling the police the COWARDS left iron there to DIE. They ran to his mother first, instead of calling the police..and while they ran to her apartment he lost his life. He died alone. Took his last breath alone, lil iron was a very respectable person!!!!!!!! He always watch out for everyone and didnt mean any harm to anyone, i dont care if it was an accident, Meagan needs to locked up for life for being stupid enough to play with a loaded fire arm, then she is stupid enough to kill someone else, involuntary manslaughter? More like murder. She is obviously old enough to know that its not OK to play with guns, they are not innocent like everyone thinks they are, accident or not, her stupidity took someone else's life, someone who would have went to the moon and back for a complete stranger!!!! RIP LIL IRON, you will forever be missed. Now that you all know the story maybe you will not think the parents have anything to do with this, this was their own apartment, and their own gun.

These were 19 year olds involved. It is not uncommon to leave "children" of this age alone. It happened to have been a gun - it could have been anything used irresponsibly as a weapon. A tragedy created by young people making poor choices.

If they ALL were playing with guns then they ALL are equally stupid! It is sad for this young mans family to lose him so tragically!

How sad that nobody had the sense to just call 911. His life could have been saved.

I knew "lil iron". He was a friend of my son and daughter. He did not deserve to die this way. No one does. My heart is broken for his mother and family who had to find him like that. From what I gather from hearing other accounts, this was no accident, but a set up to rob him. The CLAIM is that it was a party and an accident. Regardless, I hope and pray that the truth comes out and that all involved will be exposed. My hope and prayer that this young man received Christ at some point in his life and that he is resting peacefully in heaven.

Kids? These were 19yo ADULTS.

LOL....it still does not stop. We are not talking about 13 year old school children. These are 19....ADULTS. There is no duty for anyone to supervise another adult who is old enough to be living life on their own.

I know everyone involved... && they are 18-20 yrs old. It was at their apartment!!! Stop sayin "children" & sayin blame the parents. Its what happens when u mix drugs & alcohol. I think megan is fully responsible & should have serious consequences. Accident or not, Aaron's life was taken.. && someone elses could have been too!! I pray for my friends.. we gon get through this. I pray for Aaron's family. I pray for justice & healing.

I know all involved both were playing with the guns this was a horrible accident and every one out here sending death wishes putting out hits and sayin negative stuff should be ashamed of your self if you really knew aaron you knew what type of person he was you know he didnt want this for him or meagan. i saw aaron on a daily he was like a son and i also know meagan both are a loss. she will lose her life and he lost his. while yall are busy judging judge not cause you dont know what happened instead of bashing why dont yal pray for his mom and her mom cause at the end of the day they loose. stop pointing fingers and pray for the loose of two families you think that meagan anit in jail wishing to god she didnt touch that gun think again, i feel for both his mom and hers because loosing anyone at all is sad but now both lives are destroyed.

Why don't everyone leave this alone?! They weren't kids. This poor girl lost her life, not in the same aspect but still the same has lost her life. People make these mistakes all the time. She doesn't deserve to be threatened or have death wished upon her! Leave her alone! She made a mistake & she doesn't need to be publicly persecuted while she's already sitting behind bars!!

This is a sad thing that happens all too often to young people. Contrary to what they might think, they are not invincible. Prayers should go out to both families because both have suffered a loss. I just wondered who furnished the illegal things since unless I am mistaken both guns and alcohol by persons under 21 is against the law.

This is a sad time for both famlies that have suffered a loss. It's such a shame that this type of tragedy happens to young people far too often. Most young people think they are invincible. What I wonder is who furnished the alcohol and guns since both are illegal unless 21 or older.

My heart goes out to all familys connected to this terrible situation. We lost our daughter little over 2 years ago. Nothing can describe the emotions of getting a late night call telling you your child is dead. All those in her home that night lives also changed forever. Nothing is never the same again. The agony of wishing you had said something or did something to cause your love one to have not been in that place that night are staggering. Knowing your child died alone hurts. Even with having a wonderful phone call with my daughter little less than 12 hours before, I now end every call or visit or departure of a loved one with "I Love You".
I am praying for the surviving family's.

I was in the apartment above and heard EVERYTHING. I had no idea it was a gunshot. I suspected domestic abuse and I even stepped outside my home and began walking down to help very shaken, crying girls...but before I could they were gone. Bottom line: I have already made complaints about their apartment. Everyone knew about the blatant drug use...whomever lived there once offered us drugs and it really pissed me off. It is COMPLETELY stupid to point a weapon, loaded or not, at ANYONE. Hunter Safety 101: ALWAYS treat a weapon as loaded. The use of drugs and alcohol by minors from a consenting adult should result in some kind of charge. However, on the other side of things...it felt like nearly 20 minutes before the police arrived. My heart dropped when I found out what happened. I should have called them sooner. To everyone who said that he could have been saved, he died ON IMPACT. There's no saving in that. But, I could have made sure his killer was brought to justice sooner and he wouldn't have been left alone for so long. As for the killer, I truly feel awful for her. Stupid or no, it was an accident and her life will NEVER be the same. I know both families are hurting right now. They were all adults and knew what they were doing was WRONG, but they were all so very young. Now they have to live with the sight of what they've done forever. It all makes me so sick.

You couldn't have brought the "killer" to justice any sooner. People tried to lie about the situation & this young girl went & turned herself in!! They didn't come get her, they didn't have to investigate & hunt her down! She went & turned herself in! She could've ran or just disappeared but she didn't! She was scared & still made the right decision & turned herself in. People may be very upset about the situation but this young girl has ruined her own life so who is anyone to sit around and say justice wasn't served, when it was!

To clarify: I never said that justice wasn't served. I just know it took entirely too long for any help to arrive because everyone LEFT. Yeah, she turned herself in...but not right away.

Yes she did turn herself in...after she left iron on the floor to die...thank you for the honesty little girl but that means nothing to anyone..she was old enough to know NOT to play with guns...and guns do not kill people...people kill people...she pulled the trigger several times and it did not go off...soo that means on the last pull she cocked the gun..she put a bullet in the chamber and fired the gun...doesnt sound much like an accident to me..she did not lose her life too..iron lost his!! her crime carries a 3-5 year sentence she is merely inconvienced by this tragedy.she deserves everything that she gets plus much more. It was no accident it was stupidity on her part and iron was the only victim here..he was shot in the back of the head with no opportunity to defend himself..she is the one to he blamed here and she should get a 30 year sentence!!!!!

No, the gun was presumed to be unloaded. If she loaded the gun and cocked it to shoot her friend, that's not accidental.

i knew him. it wasnt an accident

Don't be insensitive. If it concerns "no one," then don't post in the first place!

Amen to Sabrina and Piper I think all those involved are just as guilty as megan, good question Piper if they were there why didn't anyone of those young adults step up and say something, why did everyone leave that man alone and not one of them picked up the phone and call 911??? I personally think all those that were there are guilty not just Megan but because megan had the gun and admits to pulling the trigger she's the one taking the punishment, she will always have to live that moment, WE ALL should quit pointing the finger and Pray for the mom's who lost there kids..

I absolutely agree that everyone there should take the same charge but SHE pulled the trigger..SHE took his life..its hard not to hate the person that took a loved one away whether they meant to do ot or not..my family is devastated by this and i think if it did not PERSONALLY effect you then you wouldnt understand and should have very little to say.. These kinds of things DONT happen all the time. this is not some common accident. Its just really hard to believe that someone could be that stupid:( that was a high price to pay for another ignorance..thats all im saying

There are two types of involuntary manslaughter statutes: criminally negligent manslaughter and unlawful act manslaughter. Criminally negligent manslaughter occurs when death results from a high degree of negligence or recklessness. Modern criminal codes generally require a consciousness of risk and under some codes the absence of this element makes the offense a less serious Homicide.

you are all very stupis people, his mom is not to blama, and saying hurtfull things on a blog to other is stupid, fact is none of you people understand nor know the story that the people had to live that night, none of you knew Aaron, so shut up and have some consideration for those of us that knew him, and his family, and have some respect for the dead, you all need to shut up!

Its no threat at all..i dont know her and dont ever care to meet her..im saying that retaliation is possible in any situation like this..there are many extremely upset people and as we see anybody is capeable of anything..its a reality. i wish nothing bad on her. Karma is real and it will play out on its own. And iron was who he was...he made bad choices, yes but he killed no one. And a gun will not fire if there is not a bullet in the chamber and the only way to do that is to cock it..from what i understand this was not the first time she has held a gun or even the gun used to shot iron..if she couldn't tell the difference between a loaded gun and an unloaded gun and that you can pull the trigger a hundered times as long as it is not cocked and it wont fire then she had no place touching it. Where were her gun safety skills? And not olny playing with it but pointing at someones head and pulling the trigger..thats not normal even if you thought it wasnt loaded. Its not a bad joke she can take back and he cant be brought back so this is all for nothing..i bet she wishes she could take it back...there are so many of us who wish she would never have touched that gun. My son along with several other.children lost their uncle

I do not know either one of them but I pray for everyone involved and their families. This just breaks my heart it is so sad. I just want to also say to Aarons sister I am sorry just always remember he will always be with you and watching over you from above. God needed another angel. Love and Prayers to you all.

Dustin I'm sorry but was your comment for me? Cause if it was it was very much uncalled for! I haven't disrespected or said anything out of the way to you or anyone else so why do you feel like you have the right to disrespect me? And another thing my God loves me and everyone else in this world including you! Now please try to have some respect for others especially when they have been respectful to you! All this I say with nothing but love!

Most appropriate person in the room, i'll tag as Brandy. I don't mean to offend anyone even though i'll admit i won't be as appropriate at her. Yall take this time to argue and make others feel bad when this is the same type of actions that lead up to events like this. It's because of people like us who feed off of negativity that bad things happen anyway. We need to take this time to mourn and pay respect to this young man Lil iron. This page should be filled with people's memories of hanging with the man or at the very least it should be an arguement about locking more people up. But no matter the situation it wasn't a good one to be in. Over a million things could have happened to keep this from happenin but somehow God found it right to make it happen this way. For the man lil aaron's people, it's just somewhat of a reality check. That's what it was for me. I barely knew the homie but just hearing how he passed away brought tears to my eyes. So i know you're just hoping to wake up and his be all a dream. Understand that he's in a better place, because seeing how willing people are to disrespect this young man by mouthing off on his page pretty much shows it don't get no worse than where we are now. Sympathy for the girl too i'm pretty sure it was an accident because its not easy at all to stomach shooting someone in the face. anyway peace love and respect to everyone.

That's immature grow up! Stop talking about him like that!

Wow, it is pritty amazing how almost everyone has harsh things to say, we can all bash each other but It won't bring him back, I'm sry to the sister for the loss of her brother, I'm sry to the mother who loss her son, sorry to the father who loss his son, I'm sorry to the brother who loss his brother, I dare all ya to start posting something positive on here... I heard he was a great guy with a heart of cold and would do anything to help anyone.... NEXT!!!

PRAYING FOR HIS FAMILY, SOME OF YOU NEED GOD IN YOUR LIFE. YALL ARE SOME COLD HEARTED PEOPLE.

look people come on now Meagan has a FAMILY that cares about her and loves her as well as Aaron did not just one family was affected by this and Meagan is deeply affected that was HER good friend she would not have wanted this to happen at all and people need to back off and leave her alone and just pay their respects to his family and go on I know some people on here are Meagan's family and friends and some are Aaron's family and friends so please people both familys are deeply sadden by this........... so stop all this !

I just believe if the roles were reversed and he shot her he'd be getting a much harder time than her. I honestly don't even believe they'd be so anxious to go along with the story of it being an accident. When it boils down to it she should get more time than a person who's killed someone drunk driving being that she centered herself around drugs,guns,and alcohol America's top 3. Accident or not she took a mans life with the choices she decided to make. I feel sad for the girl. She has to live with that image for the rest of her life. But everyone has to live with the choices they make and we all know if the roles were reversed there would be far less sympathy for Aaron

I am the grandmother of this teen that was killed all the people that was there who had gun or around gun should take a long look of the pain that came out of this when u around people that doing wrong walk away i here so much only the person and the Lord really know what happen if my grandson had a gun he was wrong too but know one want to here news like this i pray that out of this something good come out of this that the drinking and if drugs was involve that young people stop i dont want to see know one go through this pain i have a daughter that i cant stop her pain and for the yourng girl here mother is hurting and for her she has to live with this the rest of her life for his family we are standing on God word that he is in control know matter how we are feelling It is over for aaron but today make a choice to do what is right please who know the power of pray do so for the coleman and wallace family we wil be rejoice in the Lord for aareon sat in River beach Fla at 200 i thank God for allowing me to have him for 20 years again young people please think about accepteing the Lord into your life

After watching my Grandmother lose a son and my mother lose a son and also my sister lose a son. I cannot imaging what it feels like nor do I want to. So can you imaging that when it is all said and done there is another mother suffering for the loss of her son. We are all just passing through and when I feel your breeze will it teel me how you lived? Judge not just love and keep Christ first. Robbin this poem is for you...........We go through life so often not stopping to enjoy the day and we take each one for granted as we trael on our way.....We never stop to measure anything we just might miss, but if the wind should blow by softly you'll feel Lil Iron's kiss...A kiss that is sent from Heaven, a kiss that is very special from someone that you love....For in your pain and sorrow an angel's kiss will help you through. This kiss is very private for it is meant for only you. Love and peace to the Coleman/Wallace family. Aaron I miss your beautiful smile and the way you would looked over my shoulder when I was fixing something. Curiosly learning not asking any questions, just soaking it in and we both having the moment of silence.......... Rest my son rest for the Lord have you now....Silk

To My Mother

I see you each time you shed a tear,
I catch it and kiss you, I hope that you know that I'm near.
This place is so beautiful, There's so much to see!
I know that someday you'll be here with me.
The angels were singing when I arrived!
Jesus was there with His arms open wide!
The snow and the rain are just my confetti.
I know you'll be coming and I want to be ready.
When you feel the wind, it's me walking by.
I can run and skip now, I can even fly!
When the blossoms and leaves fall into your hair,
It's me planting kisses, yes, I put them there!
The birds are singing to keep you company,
They're especially for you with love from me.
I know that you miss me and feel so alone,
Until the great day when you finally come home
Please remember as the seasons change from one to another,
I'll always love you. You're my friend and my mother.

If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried...
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we've cried...
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted You.

I'm the aunt of Arron.I want to thank everyone for their prays we do know with out god we would not have the strength to go though this.And to Meagan family our prayes goes out to you all.We r hearing so many things all my family want is closer,For people to get up here and go word for word is really uncalled for no one knows what happen but the ones that were there.I do know this was a senseless death, too family lives messed up.We r greatful to god for allowing him to lend Arron to use for 20 yr.we don't know why nor do we understand but we do know you God knows whats best We will miss him so much but he now is in a better place so rest Arron we Love you.Melissa

Such a sad thing to hear about happening. Prayers for both of these families. I know how terrifying it is to be young and see something like this. Sadly it's also so terrifying to be young and not blend in with your friends. Everyone occasionally makes bad choices, but hopefully some good will come after the heartbreak eases. I didn't know this young man, but I know people that did. It affected many in many ways. I pray that it will impact those people that were there that night, and friends of friends and so on.. Maybe a good change could rise out of a tragedy so that his life was not taken in vein. I can only partially imagine how his close friends and family and even neighbors feel right now, but all you can do is pray for healing, and for some kind of change before we're all in over our heads in something we can't turn around. God bless.

Will all yall just shut up and let my brother rest in peace .. praying for your mom Aaron
The whole family love and miss you !!!!

Everybody knows not to play with guns I knew Megan for years and she was old enough to know guns are not to be fucked with .. I knew Aaron for to many years as well he didn't deserve this at all ...

It's funny how when you die people turn you into this great person.. Aaron "Iron" pulls out the gun first to play an flash it off..witch was a dumb move..Megan stupidly followed an played back..witch was a dumb move...Then boom Aaron died..nobody likes to tell how their child/friend/ or whatever failed to really think about what they where doing.I fill sorry for both families and victims..this post is not throw dirt on Iron an bless Megan ,because I know her,an trust me I have told her she was a a** I just want people to be fair about it..It doesn't matter who started an who finished it.
What matters is this generation My GENERATION has not learn to think fully..
now to can put that off on the school.parents or faith,but the truth is it all starts with us ourselves. R.i.p Aaron Wallace ..prayers to Megan Brennan Cates.

They were all adults, and responsible for their own actions. Too many lives were affected by this horrific accident, and the ones on here making their non-helping comments should find Jesus. And if you claim you do know Jesus, and then you better ask him to help you re-evaluate your moral and spiritual core. Remember the first one that Jesus told would shine in paradise with him was a thief being crucified for his sins. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for the way you have responded to this tragedy. In time like this, we need to come together as the body of Christ commands us. Remember, you shall be judged as you have judged others. What goes around comes around. And last but not least “No man knows the time or hour of his demise. Treat every moment like it is your last. Life is too short and precise for anyone to waste their time spreading malicious and useless slander and garbage.

To all the people who have voiced their opinions in regards to this tragic event. Let me remind one and all. Only three people involved know the truth as too what really transpired that night. Only Aaron, Meagan and God know the exact circumstances of what happened that tragic night and what the motives involved actually were. Only God can judge the purpose and intent of one’s heart. And for all of you that feel it is okay to pass judgment on either Aaron or Meagan, just remember the Bible tells us that NO sin is greater than the other and for all of you that have said in one way or another that she needs to die, or go to jail for the rest of her life, you are just as guilty for passing judgment on her and that too is a sin. Maybe we should start a post for you and the ones like that feel it is your place to make judgment and take that power out of God’s hands. Place your trust in the Lord for his word says…”That which is done in the dark will be brought to the light.” Instead of getting on here and spreading and hate and bigotry, why not take the time to pray for the families involved, or the people who now have to carry around the image of this young man getting shot and having to relive this horror over and over in their heads. Or even better why not take some of that wasted energy, and turn it into a positive outlet and go and visit the young lady and tell her that she made a mistake, but God can take this and turn it around for His glory.

Poor choices.... unfortunate loss,,,, sorry it's called freedom to buy guns so easily ... God help us
