Destin Molina

PHOENIX — An Arizona man is facing charges after authorities say he accidentally and fatally shot his friend in the face.

Maricopa County court documents say Destin Molina pulled the trigger on a Mossberg Model 88 shotgun he thought was unloaded on Thursday and shot 20-year-old Omar Davis.

Police say no evidence suggested a fight or argument had occurred before the shooting.

Authorities say Davis died from the gunshot wound.

According to court documents, the 20-year-old Molina was booked into jail on suspicion of one count of negligent homicide with bond set at $100,000.

It was not known if Molina had an attorney.
