Keegan Alexander Vasquez was a 3-year-old boy from Clyde, Texas, who died on January 31, 2020, after an accidental shooting. Keegan apparently found a .25 caliber pistol on a table in his great grandmother’s bedroom and began playing with it; the gun discharged and a bullet lodged between his brain and nose. He was taken to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth and died later that night.

Callahan County Sheriff Terry Joy said Keegan’s death was accidental and noted the Sheriff’s Office initially reported his age as 4; Keegan would have turned 4 on March 14, 2020. Sheriff Joy said he did not believe charges should be filed. The community organized a GoFundMe to help with medical and funeral expenses, and a memorial service was held at First Baptist Church in Clyde with Rev. Monty Barnett officiating.

If anyone knew Keegan or was in Clyde at the time and can share memories or information about the circumstances, please contribute what you know.
