took him to a local hospital, where he later died.
In an interview with detectives, after he was read his Miranda rights, Mann report- edly told officials he and his friend had smoked marijuana around 8 p.m., and were talking about guns in the kitchen.
Mann and his friend later went into the detached garage to continue their conver- sation. They were reportedly handling two different hand- guns when the victim “said he can dodge a bullet,” documents said.
Mann told officials he and his friend unloaded each gun before he pointed a firearm at the victim and pulled the trigger, with his friend trying to “jump out of the way to prove he could
move before the trig- ger was pulled.” Mann told officials they repeated that about six times.
“[Mann] said the final time the gun fired striking [the victim] in the chest,” arrest doc- uments said.
Mann said the victim asked him to call 911 because he had been shot. Mann reportedly rendered aid to his friend until first responders arrived at the scene.
After obtaining a search warrant for the residence, officials found two handguns, as well as ammuni- tion and magazines. Officials also found “drug paraphernalia consistent with mari- juana use.”
Mann was taken into custody on the afore- mentioned charges.
