On September 15, 2019, 6-year-old Zain Alabiden Fadhil of Arlington, Texas, was shot in the head inside his home and died four days later at Cook Children’s Medical Center. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed his death. Investigators say the shot was fired from a .22-caliber rifle by his 11-year-old brother, who had special needs; a 3-year-old sibling was also present and was grazed by a bullet but was expected to recover.

Police report the rifle had been purchased by a 16-year-old sibling, who said the gun was bought off the streets. Authorities were unclear why the rifle had been left outside or how it came into the children’s hands, and their investigation focused on the gun’s purchase history and the events leading up to the shooting. No arrests or suspects have been identified. A GoFundMe was set up to help with medical and funeral costs.

Did anyone in the Arlington or Fort Worth area have information about where that rifle came from or saw anything the day of the shooting?
