Three-year-old Quinn Burchfield of Tampa, Florida, died on November 2, 2002, after an accidental self-inflicted gunshot on October 28, 2002. He was taken to Tampa General Hospital and remained in critical condition for five days before he died.

Quinn’s father, Steven Burchfield, was charged with culpable negligence because the firearm had been left in an accessible location. The incident was treated as an accidental shooting rather than a homicide or murder; the legal action centered on the allegation of negligence in leaving a gun where a young child could reach it.

Anyone who knew the family or has information about the circumstances that morning is asked to come forward.
