Six-year-old Jahiem Holliday was fatally shot in the head while playing with other children in the backyard of a home on Madison Avenue in Baton Rouge. The group of children had been playing near adults who were discussing making a music video when the shooting occurred a few doors down from Jahiem’s own house.

Authorities reported a 13-year-old boy, identified as Jesavrie Bell, went into his home and returned with a handgun believed to belong to his uncle. It is reported the boys may have argued before the fatal shot. Bell was arrested and later pleaded guilty to negligent homicide, saying he found the gun in his uncle’s home and that the shooting was an accident while he was playing with the weapon.

Jahiem’s mother, Leteisha Holliday, spoke about her grief and missing the hugs and kisses from her son. Does anyone have information about the circumstances that led to the gun being accessible that day?
