Casey Weiner admitted to being an accomplice of Tyler Barriss, who was convicted of a fatal swatting case. As the court found, Winner turned to colleague Barris at the request of Shane Gaskill, who wanted to intimidate a fellow online shooter Call of Duty. Gaskill provided a false address. As a result of the joke, a 28-year-old man died. He was shot dead by one of the special forces, suggesting that he had a weapon in his hands.
In March 2019, the court sentenced Tyler Barris. The 26-year-old has been swotting for a long time and pleaded guilty to 51 counts. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
