Casey Caleb Senter-Talk was a 3-year-old boy from Spring, Texas, who died on July 5, 2015, after suffering a gunshot wound at his grandparents’ home. Officials say Casey apparently shot himself with his grandfather’s handgun, which had been stowed on or near a nightstand. He was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital but died that night; the cause of death has not been determined.

Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigators kept the case open and referred it to a grand jury to decide whether the grandparents would face charges under a Texas law that can make caregivers criminally liable for making a firearm accessible to a child. Sheriff Ron Hickman urged adults to secure firearms, use gun locks, and take extra precautions to keep weapons out of children’s reach.

Casey was the son of Carissa Elaine Talk and the late Casey Wayne Senter and was buried at Klein Memorial Park in Tomball. If anyone has information about the circumstances at the grandparents’ home that night, please come forward.
