'Boater Freedom Act' will change laws on the water, starting in July
Police said Kelly Agar Garcia, 43, and his wife Adriane Daza, 48, were in their home with Daza's adult son, Azareel Martinez, 26, and two children ages 9 and 11, at the time of the shooting. The incident began when Daza learned the 9-year-old boy was playing the video game Fortnite, which was forbidden, and decided to discipline him by taking his cellphone away.
The boy became upset and grabbed a handgun from a nightstand drawer in Daza's bedroom. Garcia and Daza struggled with the 9-year-old over the gun and it ultimately ended up in Garcia's hands.
Martinez entered the room to find the 'agitated' child and Garcia holding the gun. The two men got into an argument that resulted in Garcia shooting his stepson several times in the chest and abdomen, Davenport police said.
Garcia pursued Martinez as he left the bedroom and shot him twice more in the back, according to police. Martinez was taken to the hospital, where he died.
Garcia was charged with second-degree murder and unlawful storage of a firearm (accessible to a minor). He was booked into the Polk County Jail, where he remained Thursday.
