Nyran Plummer was 12 when he was found with a catastrophic gunshot wound inside his family’s third-floor Yonkers apartment on Nepperhan Avenue on the night of Saturday, April 13, 2019. First responders discovered him on his bedroom floor; he was transported to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. Investigators reported two rounds had been fired from a .25-caliber semi-automatic pistol — one struck a bedroom window and the other struck Nyran in the side of the head.

Detectives treated the wound as potentially self-inflicted and accidental and said Nyran had been home with a one-year-old neighbor who was in a separate room. No arrests were made immediately; police said their criminal inquiry was focused on tracing the firearm’s origin and how an illegal gun came into a child’s hands. Nyran’s father, Samuel Davis, disputed the accidental finding and demanded a fuller investigation.

Does anyone have information about how the pistol might have entered that apartment or who handled firearms there?
