Destiny Oliver was five years old when she died from a gunshot wound at her Knoxville, Tennessee, home on September 14, 2019. She was a student at Fountain City Elementary. Initial accounts from her mother, Robin Howington, described a home invasion, then shifted to accusing Destiny’s father, Antoine Oliver. Howington later accused her boyfriend of hiding the handgun used in the shooting.

A neighbor’s surveillance video contradicted part of Howington’s account by showing her placing the firearm in a nearby bush. Investigators say Howington then changed her story again, claiming a two-year-old sibling found the gun in a closet and accidentally shot Destiny. Howington is also reported to have attempted to destroy her cellphone at the hospital and later said she did so because she feared it contained evidence of drug sales. Antoine Oliver was prevented from attending Destiny’s funeral while the investigation continued.

A grand jury returned an indictment charging Howington with felony murder and related offenses. Does anyone have information about Destiny’s life in Fountain City or was in the neighborhood around September 14, 2019?
