Chance Gilbert was a 7-year-old third grader at Riverview Elementary who died on May 17, 2020, after being shot inside a home in the Hawaiian Terrace apartment complex in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was remembered as a vibrant, outgoing child who loved football and was close to four siblings.

Cincinnati police investigated the shooting and later determined Chance was accidentally shot by a 9-year-old boy who fired a firearm while the children were playing. The gun was believed to have been left out by an adult and the child who fired it did not know it was loaded. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced the 9-year-old would not face charges and said adults who knew what happened and may have concealed details remained a focus of the inquiry. The police chief said parts of the investigation were unresolved.

The community rallied around Chance’s family after the tragedy. Does anyone have information about the adults who were at that apartment that day?
