TEMPLE, Texas — Elijah Williams, 19, was indicted on a manslaughter charge Wednesday for his alleged involvement in the death of 18-year-old Mikhail Jawan Ellis.
Ellis was shot in his abdomen at a home in the 1500 block of East Calhoun in Temple June 24.
EMS was called and the victim was taken to Baylor Scott & White Hospital where he later died of his injuries.
Williams was later arrested and charged with manslaughter.
An arrest affidavit stated Williams confessed he was "playing" with a handgun in the kitchen when it went off and shot Ellis.
"Williams further advised that he was pulling the trigger of the handgun and pulling the slide back and forth on the gun when the gun discharged," the affidavit read.
