Kadin Tige Mann was a 5-year-old boy from the Lake Iliamna region who died after an accidental shooting in the village of Kokhanok. The shooting occurred on Saturday, January 23, 2016, when an 11-year-old child found an unsecured .22-caliber rifle in a home and fired a single shot that struck Kadin. He was medevacked to Anchorage and died the next day, January 24, 2016.

Alaska State Troopers and the Alaska Bureau of Investigation processed the home with specialized equipment. Early statements identified the shooter only as an 11-year-old; officials withheld the child’s identity and contemporaneous reports do not show any charges. The small village, about 160 people, organized grief counseling for classmates and neighbors and launched a community fundraiser to help cover funeral expenses.

Who in Kokhanok might be able to fill in how the rifle was left unsecured or saw something relevant to the events of January 23, 2016?
