Vendor charged in gun show shooting death
By RICK BADIE
Atlanta Journal-Constitution Staff Writer
A Florida man turned himself in to Gwinnett County authorities Wednesday on a misdemeanor manslaughter charge in last month's fatal shooting at a Norcross gun show.
Cleveland Lewis Chaney, 57, of O'Brien, Fla., was booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center at 9:49 a.m. and bonded out at 10:32 a.m., Gwinnett Cpl. Ray Dunlap said.
Dunlap didn't know if Chaney, a gun show vendor, was accompanied by an attorney.
Gwinnett County authorities announced last week that Chaney would be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the accidental shooting July 14 of Steven Bray King, 13, of Prattville, Ala.
King was shot in the right eye while he was with his father, Anthony Grant of Montgomery, at a gun show at the North Atlanta Trade Center.
An investigation showed that Chaney owned the gun and that it discharged when he was placing it in a holster Grant was planning to buy.
No charges will be filed against Grant, 38, police said.
The case against Chaney will be scheduled for a court hearing, most likely in Recorder's Court.
Chaney faces up to 12 months in jail.
