Noah Nicholas Matthew McGuire was a 14-year-old student at Dominion Middle School who died on July 5, 2012, after being struck by a bullet during a sleepover at a friend’s grandparents’ home in Columbus, Ohio. Paramedics provided medical attention but Noah was pronounced dead shortly after they arrived.

The other boy was charged with delinquency counts of reckless homicide. The boy’s grandmother, who had legal custody, was reportedly out shopping at the time. Noah’s mother said she did not believe the boy should face charges because the shooting was accidental. A fund was established in Noah’s memory for gun safety education advocacy and the community rallied to promote securing firearms.

Are there readers who knew Noah or who can share information about the home where the sleepover took place?
