Alaska State Troopers say a 19-year-old man died after being accidentally shot at a Wasilla residence on Tuesday.

Troopers report that the preliminary investigation indicates the firearm was mishandled, causing it to discharge. Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures, but the man, identified as Mariol Gaba, did not survive.

His remains have been sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office, and his next of kin have been notified.

The investigation is ongoing.
