LYNDON --- Jeffrey A. Garcia, 24, Garnett, pleaded no contest Friday in Osage County District Court to involuntary manslaughter in the April 10 shooting death of 19-year-old Lance Holloway.
Garcia originally was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Holloway, also of Garnett.
Osage County Attorney Eric Godderz said Friday that Garcia shot Holloway during a party in Melvern at which a group of people were gathered around a bonfire.
The defendant took a revolver from Eric Brannan and made the statement, "Let's play Russian roulette," and shot Holloway in the left side of the head, killing him, Godderz said.
Sentencing is set for Oct. 6.
