A 17-year-old juvenile from Owensboro has been charged with reckless homicide as a result of their involvement in the death of Aaron Michael Aull Jr. last month, according to the Owensboro Police Department. Based upon actions following the shooting, a second juvenile (16 years old of Owensboro) was charged with tampering with physical evidence.
According to OPD, both juveniles were inside the home when officers arrived and intentionally misled detectives during the investigation.
According to reports, at approximately 9:55 p.m. on Oct. 24 OPD responded to the 2200 Block of E. 19th St. for a reported firearm discharge. Upon arrival, officers found Aull dead with a single gunshot wound inside the residence.
OPD officials later said the shooting incident was believed to have been accidental.
