A Fayetteville man was charged Thursday with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting of a 16-year-old girl, according to arrest documents in the Cumberland County Magistrate's Office.

Timothy Morrell Swinson-Willis, 21, of the 100 block of Oates Drive, told Fayetteville police investigators he was playing with a gun when it discharged, striking Breaunna Brown in the face, killing her, documents said.

The shooting happened about 3:10 p.m. at Brown's home on the 1000 block of Wood Creek Drive in the Stewart's Creek condominium complex off South Reilly Road.

Swinson-Willis immediately called 911 and told a dispatcher he "accidentally shot Brown in the face by mistake," the documents said. Swinson-Willis attempted to contact emergency personnel, but the call failed.

At that point, according to the documents, he ran away, taking the gun with him. Swinson-Willis then called his mother and told her what had happened. His mother called 911 "to ensure the victim received medical care" and went to look for her son.

She found Swinson-Willis walking in a nearby neighborhood and drove him to the Police Department, where he turned himself in.

Bail was set at $100,000.
