Deveonna Rimson was 3 years old when she died in Kansas City, Missouri, on the evening of July 15, 2015. Emergency responders were sent to a home near 31st Street and Spruce Avenue after a report of a stabbing; first responders found the child with a gunshot wound and she was taken to a local hospital, where she later died.

Investigators determined the death resulted from an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound. Several other children and adults were in the residence at the time, and police interviewed multiple people to establish how the child obtained access to the firearm. Authorities examined firearm storage and the possibility of negligence; no public announcement of any arrests or charges had been made at that stage of the inquiry.

If anyone was in that neighborhood on July 15, 2015, or has information about who was responsible for the firearm’s storage, please share what is known with investigators.
