A three-year-old boy named Amir Antoine died from a gunshot wound to the head on January 25, 2020, in a residence on Birch Street near Interstate 110 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Emergency crews found him in critical condition before noon and he was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The East Baton Rouge Coroner’s Office ruled the death an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound after an autopsy.

The house had a prior fatal shooting in 2016: a 17-year-old, Ahmad Antoine, was charged with negligent homicide after accidentally discharging a shotgun and killing another teenager. Records indicated Ahmad still lived at the Birch Street address at the time of Amir’s death, but the coroner’s accidental ruling meant there were no immediate arrests reported in the 2020 case.

If anyone knew the family, lived at that address, or has information about what happened that morning, please share what is known.
