DaMontez Jones was 15 when he died after an accidental shooting at his family home in the Overland neighborhood of St. Louis. On June 3, 2016, Jones was at the 9500 block of Page Avenue with his three brothers while their parents attended a rehearsal dinner. The teenager, who had just finished his freshman year at Ritenour High School and was reported to be in good spirits that evening, found a firearm in the house and was handling it while apparently attempting to take a selfie when it discharged and struck him.

Emergency personnel responded, and obituary records list his date of death as June 5, 2016. The Overland Police Department investigated, interviewed the siblings who were present, and examined the scene. Investigators concluded the shooting was an accident with no evidence of foul play; no suspects were sought and no charges were filed.

Did anyone who knew DaMontez or his family notice details about the evening that could help clarify exactly what happened?
