Son killed by father for being gay
The man had rented an apartment for Giovanni because his son and his new wife did not get along, according to the arrest report. The year-old had lived there alone since March. When Melton went to check on Giovanni, the two argued, and the teenager reportedly pushed his father to the ground. Melton told police he had a gun because he was afraid of some of the people that Giovanni hangs out with. He says Giovanni moved to attack him again, and he accidentally shot the year-old because his finger was on the trigger. They believe he pulled the gun on his son before he believed himself to be in danger.
