A game of Russian roulette led to the death of a Donovan Spann, 18, in White Center Friday night, March 10 and now a 17-year-old Burien boy is in jail.

Investigators say he shot and killed his best friend.

King County sheriff’s deputies said the 17-year-old was house-sitting for a man who gave him the gun to defend the property from burglars.

The homeowner, George Firis, said he thought he could trust the boy to not treat his gun like a toy.

Firis said he didn’t find out about the shooting until he got out of the hospital last weekend. Before the shooting on Friday, Firis said he admitted himself to a hospital to treat an alcohol addiction.

Deputies said they got a call to 911 Friday evening saying the 18-year-old had been shot.

Deputies said it would be up to prosecutors to decide if Firis could face charges in connection to the shooting.

A celebration of life for Donovan is planned for Saturday at Highline High School.
