Six-year-old Judah Todman of Orlando died on October 3, 2017, after finding a handgun in his father’s vehicle and accidentally shooting himself in the head. Judah’s father, Jamal Daniel Todman, had left him alone in the car while he went to pick up a younger child from daycare. When Jamal Todman returned he found Judah slumped over with blood on his head and the gun on the floor; Judah was taken to a hospital and later died.

An investigation led to the arrest of Jamal Todman on charges including negligent storage of a firearm and carrying a concealed firearm by a convicted felon. Todman told investigators he normally kept the glove box locked but that it was unsecured that day. The gun was registered to his wife, and Todman had a 2005 felony firearm conviction that barred him from possessing firearms.

The case centers on the accessibility of an unsecured weapon in a vehicle and the legal consequences that followed. Did anyone in the area see Judah’s car that morning or have information about where the handgun was stored?
