Cojuan Ronell Singleton was a 12-year-old boy from San Antonio who died on November 13, 2020, from a single gunshot to the head. The Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide. The firearm involved was a Glock pistol that had been illegally modified to fire fully automatically and belonged to 21-year-old Justin Johnson, who was at the apartment when the shooting occurred.

Johnson initially told investigators Cojuan picked up the gun and accidentally shot himself while Johnson watched YouTube videos. He later told police he had tried to grab the gun from Cojuan and that it went off during the struggle. Johnson was charged with manslaughter and accused of knowingly placing an unsafe, illegal firearm within the child’s reach; bail was set at $45,000.

Cojuan’s family remembered him for his love of basketball, football, and music. If anyone has information about the apartment, the modified Glock, or the events that night, please share what is known.
