Lexington Teen Pleads Guilty to Involuntary Manslaughter

An 18-year-old Lexington man who accidentally shot and killed his friend with an antique rifle pleaded guilty Wednesday to involuntary manslaughter, according to the 11th Circuit Solicitor's Office.

Brady Xavier Olson received an indeterminate sentence under the Youthful Offender Act, according to the Solicitor's Office. The judge recommended him for a 90-day Shock Incarceration Program, a bootcamp-like program that involves strenuous physical activity, education, work and discipline.

Based on behavior, Olson could remain incarcerated anywhere from 90 days to five years, the usual sentence for involuntary manslaughter, according to the Solicitor's Office.

Olson accidentally shot and killed his friend, 19-year-old Kenneth Robert Nay, in February at a house on Riglaw Circle where the two lived, according to the Lexington County Sheriff's Department. Olson was pointing the rifle towards Nay without checking to see if it was loaded when he pulled the trigger.
