Police seek gun owner in fatal shooting of 16 year old girl
(11-13-15) A Bronx man with a long rap sheet is being sought after he fled with a gun that killed a 16-year-old girl, police sources said.
The teen’s girlfriend, who was with victim Zion Willis when the gun went off, told police she saw the teen pick up the weapon with both hands and stare into the barrel when it “accidentally” discharged in her face.
But police are not taking the girlfriend’s story as gospel, especially since the gun’s owner, Dale Weston, ran off with the weapon shortly afterward, sources said.
Weston, 42, was last seen in his apartment at 306 E. 171st St. at 6:06 p.m. Thursday — less than 10 minutes before Willis was found dead from a gunshot wound at the same location, sources said.
