On October 1, 2016, 18-month-old Noah Gilmore was fatally shot in a bedroom in McDonough, Georgia. Noah was in the room with his three-year-old brother and several adults when a 45-caliber handgun that had been placed on a bed or a dresser discharged. A single bullet struck Noah in the head; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later died. Noah’s parents, Josh Gilmore and his family, described him as a miracle baby who brought joy to their lives, and a community fundraiser raised nearly $6,000 to help with memorial costs.

Police investigated and concluded the adults in the room were not paying attention when the firearm went off. The child who was present was not involved in the shooting, and the question of who fired the fatal shot has not been resolved. No determination has been reported about whether any adult present will be charged in connection with Noah’s death. Does anyone who was in that household or knew the family have information about the circumstances that night?
