Six-year-old Daquell Collins, known to family as King, died from a single gunshot wound to the head inside his Milwaukee home on the night of April 1, 2025. His grandmother said she went to bed about 8:30 p.m. after checking that Daquell was in bed; roughly an hour later she heard a loud bang and found him on the living-room floor. She called 911 at 9:29 p.m.; paramedics and police arrived within minutes but Daquell was pronounced dead at about 9:40 p.m. A gray Palmetto State Armory 9mm semiautomatic handgun was found on the floor near him, with a spent casing; investigators also found a bullet hole through living-room blinds and an unopened gun lock in its packaging where the firearm had reportedly been stored.

The autopsy listed death from complications of a single gunshot wound to the head, and authorities treated the shooting as an accidental self-inflicted discharge involving an unsecured firearm. Investigators focused on adults with access to weapons in the home.

Did anyone in Milwaukee see or hear anything that night or have information about how the firearms were stored in that residence?
