Radyn Antonio Terrell was a 3-year-old boy from Katy, Texas, who died on June 21, 2019, after an accidental shooting at his home on the 28200 block of South Firethorne Road. That evening Radyn climbed onto a high-boy dresser, found his father’s loaded .38-caliber pistol, and a round discharged, striking him in the face near his eye. He was life-flighted to a nearby hospital but doctors later determined there was no brain function and he did not survive.

Radyn’s parents, Rudi and Rico Terrell, were described as devastated. Rudi, a freelance makeup artist and office manager, had shared photos and videos of Radyn online and the family received support from the Katy community. The death was ruled accidental; there were no arrests, suspects, or litigation connected to the incident. The family created a memorial t-shirt and supported the Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Education Project in his memory.

Did anyone in the Katy area have memories of Radyn or information about the case to share?
