A Minnesota woman was sentenced to a 180-day jail term after fatally shooting her boyfriend during a botched YouTube stunt.
Monalisa Perez has pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. As part of her sentence, Perez is banned for life from owning firearms or collecting payments for her story.
Last year, Perez was charged after accidentally shooting her boyfriend, 22-year-old Pedro Ruiz III. According to the criminal complaint, the two were shooting a YouTube video where Perez shot at a book Ruiz held in front of his chest, believing the book would stop the bullet.
Unfortunately, the prank went very wrong, and the bullet went through the book and into Ruiz's chest, killing him before he could be air-lifted for medical treatment
