A teenager from Wyoming has confessed to shooting another young man who showed up at his residence with a stolen firearm, aiming to “settle some beef.” The incident unfolded in the town of Gillette earlier this year.

Kamren Crousore, who is 19 years old, admitted to attempted manslaughter on Monday as part of a plea deal related to the March shooting. This agreement led to the dismissal of more severe charges, including attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault, and a firearm enhancement.

As reported by the Gillette News Record, court documents reveal that Crousore shot his peer, also 19, in the stomach during a confrontation at Crousore’s home. The victim had approached him, looking to resolve a dispute.

The events of March 4 began when police responded to a call from the victim’s mother, who informed them of her son’s injury sustained at Crousore’s residence. Another witness, a woman who had given the victim a ride, recounted that he requested transport to Crousore’s house to “settle some beef.” She waited in the car as the victim went inside the home.

Shortly after Crousore permitted the victim to enter, the woman heard three gunshots emanate from the house. The victim then fled the scene, suffering from a gunshot wound to the stomach, and urged the woman to take him to the hospital immediately.

When deputies from the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office arrived at Crousore’s home, they executed a search warrant and found a semiautomatic 9 mm Walther CCP handgun with a purple frame. The victim’s mother told police that she owned a gun matching that description, along with a second gun, and both weapons had been stolen.

The woman who drove the victim told police that he said he planned to sell both of his mother’s guns.

On March 5, police interviewed a witness to the shooting, who said he was with the victim and Crousore on the morning of March 4. After Crousore used meth, he started arguing with the victim. According to the witness, the victim told Crousore that he wanted to fight one of Crousore’s friends, saying he could “take on anyone.” Crousore became upset and asked the victim to leave, but the victim refused until he could take his mother’s guns back.

The argument between Crousore and the victim escalated and turned into a physical fight. The witness said that the victim “body-slammed” Crousore and hit him in the face. When the victim still refused to leave without the guns, Crousore got his hands on the purple firearm, loaded it, and pointed it at the victim’s face, telling him, “Get the f— out.” The two boys stared each other down before Crousore eventually pistol-whipped the victim.

The victim fought back, and Crousore aimed the gun at him and fired three times. Crousore missed twice, but shot the victim once in the stomach. The witness said Crousore became upset after the shooting, saying, “What did I just do, I can’t believe I just did that, what am I going to do?”

Crousore then placed the purple gun in a vent, called another person for a ride, and went on the run. Sheriff’s deputies responded to Crousore’s home on March 8 after someone reported seeing someone who resembled Crousore “peeking” out of the window. After people in the home denied that Crousore was there, the deputies found him hiding behind a rack of clothes in a bedroom closet. He was arrested without incident.

Crousore’s sentencing date was not shared publicly.
