According to a police report obtained by GatorSports.com, Jefferson Guinn, 20, was showing Krysalka, 19, his gun when it accidentally went off. Guinn has been arrested on a manslaughter charge.
Police were called to a southeast Ocala address at 12:41 a.m., and Krysalka was in the bedroom with Guinn and another man, Ethan Hayhurst. Hayhurst told police the three were talking about an incident the night before that involved Guinn reportedly “point(ing) his unloaded handgun at someone” during a party.
Krysalka was sitting on the floor in front of Guinn who was sitting in a chair while the three were showing each other the guns that they carried. Guinn mentioned to Krysalka that he had never cleaned his gun. According to Hayhurst, Krysalka told Guinn to take the gun apart to show him how dirty it was.
The report states Hayhurst told the detective that Guinn disassembled the gun “but could not put the gun back together” at which time “the two watched a YouTube video and (Hayhurst) put the gun back together and handed, still unloaded, to Guinn.”
Hayhurst advised that Guinn “put a magazine in the firearm, cycled the slide chambering a round into the weapon, and pointed at the face of Krysalka,” the report states.
Hayhurst stated to the detective that the defendant was making fun of the people who had chastised him for the incident on March 6.
Hayhurst stated the “firearm then fired and Krysalka fell backwards, bleeding from the face,” according to the report.
The medical examiner’s review said the gunshot went through Krysalka’s mouth.
Krysalka walked on to the football team last season as a true freshman, but was not still on the roster. He was a star kicker and punter for Forest High School in Ocala, Fla.
