A two-year-old boy, Jamarious Rogers, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a residence on Gentle Bend Court in Graniteville, South Carolina, on the evening of July 25, 2020. The Aiken County Coroner’s Office pronounced him dead at a local hospital. Jamarious was reported to be Black.

The Aiken County Sheriff’s Office investigated and allege evidence was concealed after the shooting. A 31-year-old Graniteville man, Albert Davis, identified as the mother’s boyfriend, was arrested and charged with obstructing justice and unlawful conduct toward a child. Investigators say Davis removed a firearm from the scene, which prompted the obstruction charge, and that his actions or conduct allowed the child access to the weapon, forming the basis for the unlawful conduct charge. He was booked into the Aiken County detention center.

What details about that evening or the household circumstances might help explain how the child accessed the gun?
