Daniel Reddmond Hamilton was a 5-year-old boy from Cincinnati who died on November 2, 2014, after being shot inside an apartment on Kinsey Avenue in the Mount Auburn neighborhood. He was attending a birthday party when a child reportedly found a 9 mm Glock pistol and began playing with it unsupervised; Daniel was accidentally shot and killed.

The gun’s owner, Terrile Short, was charged with negligent homicide and in March 2015 was sentenced to four years in prison for her role in Daniel’s death. Daniel’s mother, Danielle Redmond, later moved away from the neighborhood and has spoken about the impact of her son’s life and the importance of gun safety.
