Kameron Antonio Ross was 4 years old when he died of a gunshot wound on September 10, 2021, after being shot at Pendleton Homes on Houston Avenue in Macon while visiting his grandmother. A call came in just after 8:30 p.m.; he was taken by private vehicle to Atrium Health Navicent and pronounced dead a little before 9:30 p.m. The coroner confirmed his identity and family notification followed.

Investigators determined Kameron found a firearm inside the apartment and accidentally shot himself. Deputies said the gun had been brought into the home by two juvenile males, ages 14 and 16, who lived there; those juveniles were interviewed and released into family custody. The one public arrest was of his 50-year-old grandmother, Kawana Liggins, on a charge of tampering with evidence. Reports at the time referenced additional charges as pending.

This remains a case of a young child killed inside a relative’s home with criminal charges reported in the aftermath; aspects of the legal outcome and any further arrests were not reported. Does anyone have information about who was present that night or about the investigation that followed?
