Three-year-old Gionni Amillio Jackson of Struthers, Ohio, died on August 15, 2025, after an unsecured, loaded firearm discharged inside a home on the 400 block of Spring Street. First responders were called shortly before 1 p.m.; a woman tried to drive the child to the hospital but stopped in a nearby plaza to perform CPR when he stopped breathing. He was pronounced dead at the hospital just after 1 p.m., and the Mahoning County coroner later confirmed his death.

Investigators described the wound as self-inflicted after the child got hold of the loaded gun. Struthers police initially handled the investigation but transferred it to the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office because the child was the grandson of one of their officers; the sheriff’s office took the lead.

Public notices recorded the child’s birth as August 10, 2022, with services at Holy Family Church in Poland, Ohio. The Mahoning County Prosecutor’s Office said on October 16, 2025, that it had only recently received investigative reports and was reviewing them; no arrests or charges had been announced by that update. Does anyone have information about the home or the circumstances that could help clarify how a loaded firearm was left accessible to a toddler?
