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
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

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>\nFollowing 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>\nWilson 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
