Four-year-old JaeLen Corley of San Antonio died on May 25, 2020, after being shot in the stomach while reportedly playing with a firearm inside a home during a Memorial Day barbecue. Family members tried to rush him to the hospital but he was pronounced dead on arrival. The shooting was initially reported as accidental.

Investigators later found inconsistencies in the family’s account. Surveillance footage showed JaeLen’s parents and other relatives moving items, including firearms, from the home into a vehicle after the shooting. Patricia Johnson, 45, her son, and two of his friends were implicated in those actions. Patricia Johnson was charged with tampering with evidence while authorities continued to investigate who fired the shot and whether more charges would be filed.

The case centers on negligence and unsecured firearms in a home with children. Does anyone have information about the household or the events that afternoon that could help clarify what happened?
