‘Seven Deadly Sins’ Georgia schoolboy, 15, ‘shoots brother 17, dead, and blasts dad in head’

A teenager has been charged with murdering his 17-year-old brother and blasting his father in the head.

Jarrell Lariscy Jr., 15, allegedly took the life of Johnny Lariscy and wounded Jarrell Lariscy Sr., 35, with a shotgun just outside their home in the Nevils area of Bulloch County, Georgia. The tragedy unfolded at around 10.50am on Saturday when police responded to reports of a shooting near the Waters Cemetery Road/Highway 46 area, according to WSAV.com.

Johnny sadly died after he was brought to a hospital in nearby Statesboro. But Jarrell Sr survived the harrowing incident and is being treated in Memorial Hospital in Savannah. A GoFundMe page set up for the dad revealed he had suffered ‘a gunshot wound to the head’.

Police told reporters at a press conference that both victims had been hit with ‘pellets from a shotgun’, according to Statesboro Herald. Speaking about the case Captain Todd Hutchens, from The Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office, said: “Basically, the 15-year-old shot his brother and shot his father, just in this unfortunate circumstance.”

Police said Jarrell Jr. was arrested at the scene and has subsequently been charged with one count each of felony murder and malice murder, two counts of aggravated assault and four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Authorities have confirmed that under Georgia’s “Seven Deadly Sins” law, Lairscy Jr. will face charges as an adult. This law permits the prosecution of juveniles as adults for specific violent offenses, such as murder and aggravated assault.

Speaking at the press conference Captain Hutchens said, according to Statesboro Herald: “We want to be very compassionate to this family. We want to extend our condolences to this family. It’s an unfortunate situation and circumstance, and we just want to extend out our prayers to them, as they have to deal with this situation, not only just to themselves, but also here during the holiday season.”

The GoFundMe page that was set up for Jarrell Sr. by a family friend to help with his medical bills revealed he works at a towing company and owns his own lawn care business. A description on the page, which has so far raised over $4,000, reads: “Jarrell Lariscy (Jay) has a very long road ahead of him. He is in Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound to the head. He is being monitored at memorial hospital at this time. He has also experienced the tragic loss of his 17-year-old son Johnny.

“Jarrell (Jay) is an upstanding guy and an important part of the Nevils Community. Over the weekend he unfortunately experienced an unimaginable tragedy. Jarrell (Jay) and his 17-year-old son Johnny were involved in a shooting that tragically took Johnnies life.”

The donation page also has a touching tribute to Johnny, who was described as a ‘typical southern teenager’. It goes on: “He loved to fish, hunt, and ride four wheelers. He was always willing to help anyone and everyone just like his dad. They were inseparable always doing things together all while a father taught his son the ins and outs of life. I can’t imagine what my friend is experiencing as I am a father myself, no father should ever have to bury his son. I pray for him and his family as they go through these difficult times in the coming weeks.”
