Prosecutors alleged that Phillip Ferrill, the stepfather, armed his stepson Tyrese Coghill with a handgun during a violent confrontation, resulting in the tragic death of Zyaire Fernandez.
Assistant District Attorney Adrian Murphy stated in court, 'But for this defendant providing that gun, Zyaire Fernandez would be alive today,' emphasizing the stepfather's role in the crime.
The incident reportedly escalated after Ferrill accused his nephew of stealing from him, leading to a confrontation where Ferrill gave his stepson a firearm to retaliate.
Despite Coghill pleading guilty and cooperating with prosecutors, Ferrill faces serious charges, including second-degree murder, for his alleged direct involvement in the actions that led to the teenager's death.
