Teen dies after being shot in head by cousin

There are still several unanswered questions surrounding the death of a 15-year-old Orange County boy after he was shot by his 7-year-old cousin. 

Anthony Lane Jr. died Monday night after his family decided to take him off life support. 

Now investigators are trying to figure out where he got the gun that accidentally killed him.

Family members told WFTV the 15-year-old was shot in the head by his 7-year-old cousin in a back room of the home on Deacon Jones Boulevard on Sunday night.

Family members said the two were tussling around while playing video games when the small .22-caliber pistol fell out of Lane's pocket and his cousin picked it up and it went off.

"The bullet went in the right hand side, came through his back," said Lane's grandmother, Angela Jones.

Family members said Anthony Lane, nicknamed Lil' Bully, was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he was on life support until Monday evening.

"The baby told me he picked it up. He told me he ran in there where his grandma was and said he accidentally shot Bully in the head," said Lane's cousin, Beatrice Ross.

"I'm really hurt and it's sad to see him go like that," said Lane's cousin, Tasha Holden.

Now police want to know where Lane got the gun. They said at least two adults were inside the house at the time of the shooting and those adults may actually face charges in the teen's death.

"We have possible neglect charges, culpable negligence charges, things of that nature," said Sgt. Eric McIntrye, of the Eatonville Police Department.

The Department of Children and Families is expected to get involved in the case, but so far has not been invited to investigate by Eatonville police. The agency could take action on its own as well.

The 7-year-old was described by his grandmother as a mild-mannered special needs student on a specialized behavior plan at school.

When WFTV asked Lane's grandmother to explain how and why the 15-year-old had a gun, she replied, "I haven't the slightest idea."

"Can you tell us what your son was doing operating a gun?" WFTV's Daralene Jones asked.

Jones insisted the child is not allowed to play with guns and could not explain how he could have learned how to shoot one.

"He was not operating a gun. This is my grandson. I have nothing to say," said Angela Jones.

No family members WFTV spoke to have any idea where the teen would have gotten the gun.

Investigators said everyone in the home will be tested for gunpowder residue to make sure no one else is responsible.
