A settlement has been reached between a fraternity, the man who pulled the trigger, and the family of a Sacramento State student who was killed by a pellet gun at a fraternity party in 2019, according to Sacramento Superior Court documents.
The Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity and its Theta Tau chapter agreed to pay $200,000 to William F. Molina and Donna Goles, the parents of William Alexander Molina, who was killed by a “penetrating pellet wound of chest,” according to his autopsy report.
The family of the man accused of accidentally shooting Molina agreed to pay an additional $100,000 to settle the case, court documents show.
After an investigation by the Sacramento Police Department and the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office, prosecutors decided not to pursue criminal charges, saying the facts of the case indicated the death was accidental.
Molina was fatally injured while attending a party on Lycoming Court, at an unofficial house of Pi Kappa Alpha, in the College/Glen section of the city not far from the university’s campus.
