Man arrested for accidentally shooting woman during 'freaky sex'

A Florida man was arrested and charged with manslaughter after he said he accidentally shot a woman in the head during what he described as ‘freaky sex,’ according to Tampa Police. The shooting happened on Nov. 7 at the Regency Inn and Suites in Tampa. TPD officers responded to a call of a woman shot in the head at the hotel room. When they arrived they found the man who called 911. They also saw the victim on the bed with a gunshot wound to the head.

Paramedics took her to a hospital where she died. The man in the room identified himself as Tyrone Fields, 21. He told police he accidentally shot the woman. In several unsolicited statements before the arrest he said it was an accident during ‘freaky sex.’ When officers took him to the police headquarters, he explained what had happened. He said he had only known the victim for a couple of days before their date at the hotel.
He told detectives the woman had asked him to put a gun to her head as a part of what he described as ‘role-play scenario’ during sexual activity. Fields took the magazine out of the 9mm semi-automatic pistol but forgot about one bullet in the chamber, according to the TPD report. Fields said they were not having sex yet, he was just laying on top of the victim, when he put the gun to her head as part of the role-play and pulled the trigger.

First-responding officers found a single fired projectile and a cartridge casing in the hotel room. The gun was also located. According to TPD, Fields leased the room in person on Nov. 6. The hotel surveillance video shows him and the victim walking into the room consensually. The victim was identified as Christina Meagher, 18, of Tampa. According to the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s Department, she didn’t have any injuries consistent with sexual battery. Tyrone Fields is in the Hillsborough County jail. His bond is set at $30,000.
