Jona Hogue Rosson was 19 when she died on the evening of November 4, 2016. She was at home on Connecticut Avenue, just outside Joplin, Missouri, with her husband Keegan Rosson. The couple were reportedly play wrestling when a handgun Keegan was wearing on his waistband accidentally discharged, and the bullet struck Jona in the stomach.

Responders transported her to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Authorities investigated to determine whether the shooting was intentional or criminally negligent and concluded it was a tragic accident. No arrest was made and no criminal charges were filed. Jona was a mother to an infant daughter, Carter Lane Rosson, and was later buried at the Watashe Family Cemetery in Kellyville, Oklahoma following a family service.

If anyone has information about Jona’s last evening or knew the family, please share what you remember.
