A man has been charged with shooting and killing his adult stepson after what police called a domestic fight over the popular video game Fortnite.

Kelly Garcia, 43, and his wife, Adriane Daza, 48, were at their residence in Davenport, Florida, on Wednesday evening with Daza’s son, Azareel Martinez, 26, along with her two younger children, aged 9 and 11.

As reported by Davenport police, the 9-year-old boy was found engaged in playing Fortnite, a game that his parents had expressly prohibited. When reprimanded and having his cellphone confiscated, the 9-year-old allegedly retrieved a Smith & Wesson 9 mm handgun from a drawer in his parents’ bedroom nightstand.

Police stated that Garcia managed to remove the gun from the boy, but at that moment, Martinez came into the room, observed the boy’s “agitated” demeanor, and began criticizing his stepfather. Garcia then allegedly shot Martinez multiple times in the chest and stomach.

As Martinez retreated, Garcia shot him twice more in the back, police said, forcing Martinez to collapse to the ground. He was brought to a local hospital where he died.
