Connor Lotterman, a 19-year-old engineering student, was fatally shot during an intentional shooting at a house party in Tallmadge Township, MI. The incident occurred when a 20-year-old suspect fired multiple rounds into the floor from an upstairs bedroom, striking Lotterman in the head. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries the following day. The local sheriff's office emphasized the reckless nature of the incident and urged caution regarding firearms and alcohol. Lotterman, who was about to turn 20, is remembered by his family for his bright personality and potential.
"The shooting was quite intentional," Ottawa County Sheriff's Office Capt. Jake Sparks told the outlet. "Multiple rounds were fired. It wasn't like as if it were a one-shot accidental discharge. This was numerous rounds discharged. Although the result of the shooting led to an accidental death, this shooting was intentional."
"Encourage people to be smart, firearms and alcohol don't mix that's for sure," Sparks said. "I think this situation could've been avoided without those things mixing."
Lotterman was the youngest of five and is survived by his parents, siblings, grandparents and nieces and nephews, according to an online obituary.
"Thank you for being the best little brother a girl could ask for," Marielle Lotterman wrote in the tribute. "I am so thankful to God for the 20 amazing years you had on this earth."
