On July 8, 2018, 2-year-old Christopher Williams Jr. died after accidentally shooting himself in the head with an unsecured 9 mm semi-automatic pistol in northwest Houston. The toddler reportedly found the gun on a couch at his father’s home, pointed it at himself, and was taken to Texas Children’s Hospital, where he later died.

Christopher Williams Sr., 35, was charged with a misdemeanor for making a firearm accessible to a child. Both parents were questioned and described as distraught. The case underscores the fatal risk posed by unsecured firearms in homes with young children and prompted calls for safer storage practices.

If anyone has information about the circumstances in that home or recalls relevant details from July 2018, please share what you know with investigators.
