SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. (WJLA) - A celebration ahead of graduation has turned into a somber event after a Virginia high school senior was shot and killed.

The deadly shooting was reported Saturday in a Fredericksburg neighborhood during an alleged prank.

“It’s been very emotional, honestly, because we graduate next week,” student Khamoni Keys remarked.

Massaponax High School seniors are heartbroken after their classmate, 18-year-old Michael Bosworth Jr., was shot and killed on Saturday.

“He was a very passionate person about stuff, just that he had to go the way he did,” Keys remarked.

One minor at the scene was not hurt, but another teenager who was close friends with Keys was also shot. That victim survived.

“I went to the hospital that morning actually because when I heard one of my closer friends got shot,” Keys said.

Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested 27-year-old Tyler Chase Butler, charging him with second-degree murder and other crimes.

Detectives say the initial 911 call was for an attempted home burglary that ended with Butler, who lives in the home, opening fire.

The two surviving minors told police they were playing a prank called “ding-dong-ditch,” which involves participants who ring doorbells and then run away.

According to court documents, the two said they had done this to other homes and were filming themselves with a plan to post on TikTok as part of a social media trend.

“It’s been very rough, like I said, but I think we’ll all get through it as long as we stay together the way we are. And that’s how it is right now at senior sunset. We’re all together. No one’s alone,” Keys added.

The suspect is currently in jail without bond.

Authorities said the two surviving victims were read their Miranda warnings, but neither have been charged at this time.
