A Kentucky jury has ordered a ghost gun manufacturer to pay more than $104 million to the family of an 18-year-old who died by suicide after purchasing a handgun build kit online, according to an ABC News report.

The verdict, returned Wednesday after a two-day trial, is believed to be the largest ever against a gun seller. The lawsuit alleged Omaha, Nebraska-based Husky Armory LLC violated federal law by selling a pistol-building kit to a buyer under the age of 21.

According to court filings, Henry Willis bought a Glock G19-style build kit from Husky Armory's website in 2023. The lawsuit said he assembled the firearm in his family's garage after telling his father he was building a transistor radio, then used it to take his own life six days later.

A Kentucky court previously entered a default judgment against Husky Armory after the company failed to respond to the lawsuit. Following this week's trial, jurors awarded the family $4.2 million in economic damages and $100 million in punitive damages.

ABC reported Husky Armory and its owner, Cody Yurk, did not appear in court.

The case follows a 2025 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld Biden-era federal regulations requiring so-called ghost guns to carry serial numbers and requiring purchasers to complete background checks and age verification.

The lawsuit also cited Husky Armory's online marketing, which advertised the kit as including "everything you need to build your own Glock style pistol from the comfort of your home," and claimed it could be assembled by "nearly anyone with a brain."

Everytown Law, which represented the Willis family, said the $104.2 million judgment exceeds the $73 million Remington settlement reached with families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Speaking at a Thursday news conference, Henry's mother, Laura Herp, called her son a "kind, gentle child" who had struggled with mental health issues before his death.

"A child in crisis should never be able to access a deadly weapon," Herp said. "Companies like Husky Armory thrive off selling to folks who shouldn't have access to firearms, and they didn't care who Henry was."

"They didn't even bother showing up to the trial," she added.

Everytown Law attorney Dana Mulhauser said the verdict should serve as a warning to companies selling ghost gun kits.

"This historic verdict sends a powerful message to ghost-gun sellers who set up businesses to profit by circumventing critical safeguards like background checks and age verification," Mulhauser said, adding that "Henry should be home with his family today."
