SheMarion Burse was an 11-year-old boy who died after being accidentally shot in his family apartment in Miami on November 10, 2022. He was with four siblings, ages 9 to 15, when a 13-year-old brother found a gun in a firearm case in their parents’ master bedroom closet; while handling it the weapon discharged and struck SheMarion in the chest. A neighbor attempted CPR and SheMarion was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where he later died.

Miami-Dade Police investigated and ruled the incident an accidental shooting. Police have not disclosed who owned the firearm, and they indicated no charges were expected to be filed against the 13-year-old or the parents. SheMarion’s mother, Tiffany Callaway, a Miami-Dade Corrections officer, was not home at the time. The family opened a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses.

Was anyone in the building aware of unsecured firearms being stored in apartments before this happened?
