Koby Lee Keever was 15 when he died after a firearm incident at a residence in Ragley, Louisiana. He was at the home with two other juveniles on a Friday when a gun that had been on a gun rack reportedly fell to the floor and discharged. A single bullet struck Koby in the abdomen; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead.

The Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation and interviewed the two juvenile witnesses and collected evidence at the scene to verify the initial account that the shooting was accidental. No public reports have been released about the outcome of that investigation, and no information has been provided about charges or whether the initial account was confirmed.

If anyone was at that residence or has information about what happened that day, please come forward and share what you know.
