Harmony Anderson, a two-year-old girl, died after suffering a fatal gunshot wound that occurred at her family’s home in the 2000 block of Ralston Avenue in Indianapolis. She was brought to Methodist Hospital on July 11, 2025; despite efforts by family members, including CPR performed by her father Leon’ta Anderson in the back seat during the drive, Harmony did not survive.

Investigators determined the child had accessed a loaded firearm that had been left accessible on a shoe rack in the parents’ bedroom. Court documents say Harmony accidentally shot herself, and that her father had left the loaded gun within reach. Leon’ta Anderson, 23, was charged by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office with neglect of a dependent resulting in death on August 20. He was arrested in Chicago on August 28 and extradited to Indianapolis; a magistrate denied a bond reduction in September and his trial was scheduled for October 27. Harmony’s four-year-old brother was placed in the care of the Indiana Department of Child Services.

Are there neighbors or visitors who saw activity at the Ralston Avenue home that afternoon or who can provide details about how the children were being supervised?
