LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - A Las Vegas woman with a 'firearm fascination' allegedly killed her model boyfriend after she set off a gun she was posing with during an ill-fated photoshoot.
Allysandra Blea, 20, stands accused of murdering Mark Santiago Gaughan, 23, as he snapped her pictures on Saturday morning around 5am near Sin City's Northwest Valley.
Police told KLAS Blea, who has a bullseye tattoo on her chest, and another woman were apparently the subjects of a weapon-filled Polaroid photoshoot.
When the two women were posing with a gun, Blea allegedly discharged the weapon. The bullet hit Gaughan and he died shortly after.
Authorities were called to the scene to respond to an 'accidental shooting.' They later retrieved photos of the women posing with knives and guns, KLAS reported.
One depicted Blea 'lying back [on the other woman], holding a black firearm that was pointed at her mouth with her finger on the trigger,' police said. The other woman was said to have been holding a blade.
Witnesses told police Gaughan had brought the gun to a gathering before the fatal incident. They said he believed the chamber was empty.
Blea and others allegedly admitted they had been drinking before Gaughan was killed.
