Three-year-old Chrisaiah Arrington died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the Jackson, Tennessee, home he shared with his mother, Linda Arrington, and her boyfriend, Antonio Dancer, on a Saturday in May 2019. Police reported the child found a firearm that had been left unsecured; responding officers located him with a single gunshot wound to the face and he later died at a hospital. Court records state this was not the first time the child had found a gun in the residence.

Investigators determined both adults were under the influence of drugs at the time. Both Linda Arrington, 25 at the time, and 43-year-old Antonio Dancer were arrested and initially held on charges including negligent homicide; a grand jury later indicted them on felony murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated child neglect.

Did anyone in Jackson at the time have information about how the firearm was stored or prior incidents of the child finding weapons in the home?
