Da’ath Locklear was a 4-year-old boy from Gastonia, North Carolina, who was shot and killed on October 11, 2007. He was of Native American descent and was preceded in death by his mother, Robin M. Croft. His funeral was held at The Colonial Chapel, Carothers Funeral Home in Gastonia.

Investigators determined Da’ath died from a gunshot. Reports note later legal proceedings involving a person named Locklear charged with multiple violent crimes, including first-degree murder and robbery, but the information available does not explicitly link that individual to Da’ath’s death.

Who in Gastonia or the surrounding area remembers Da’ath or has information that could clarify what happened on October 11, 2007?
