Chance Wilson of Palmdale, Calif., pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of voluntary manslaughter with the use of a deadly weapon on Friday. The plea was in connection with the Hilton Grand Vacations Las Vegas<\/a> killing, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The sentencing is scheduled for October in Las Vegas court. It is not clear what sentence prosecutors will request, the Review-Journal<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

The longest he could be sentenced to is 10 years in prison. The voluntary manslaughter charge is one where the suspect has no premeditation before killing a victim.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Originally, Chance Wilson was charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon. But that charge was dropped.<\/p>\n

The victim, Dailin Wilson, 16, was wounded in the head. He died at the hotel.<\/p>\n

Changed Version of Events<\/h2>\n

At first, Wilson suggested to a hotel security guard his brother committed suicide, police said. But he later said the death was an accident.<\/p>\n

\n

Several younger family members were in the hotel room when Wilson snuck up behind his brother and tried to scare him. He yelled \u201cBoom\u201d and pulled on the firearm\u2019s trigger. The gun discharged. Chance Wilson later told police he did not think the gun was loaded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The firearm used in the shooting was described by Wilson as a \u201cblack Glock 9mm handgun.\u201d He had assembled it earlier this year by buying parts online, the Review-Journal <\/em>said.<\/p>\n

Following the shooting, Wilson considered moving the body of his wounded brother outside of the hotel room. But he and his siblings accidentally got locked out of the room while they were in a hallway, KLAS<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

Wilson then went down to the hotel\u2019s lobby. That is when he told a security guard that his brother had killed himself. The guard accompanied Chance Wilson back to the room. Once there, the guard went into the room. Wilson, who had been shirtless and covered with blood, put on a sweatshirt.<\/p>\n

He was later questioned and charged.<\/p>\n

Family Visit to Vegas<\/h2>\n

The brothers and other family members were visiting Las Vegas for birthday celebrations when the shooting took place.<\/p>\n

When reached for comment, Hilton Grand Vacations spokeswoman Lauren George confirmed the incident to Casino.org<\/em> in March. She called it a \u201ctragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
