Bella Claire Callaway was 6 years old when she was fatally shot at her home in Maylene, Alabama, on Monday, May 17, 2021. She was taken to a nearby hospital and died shortly after arrival.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office investigated and determined the weapon belonged to a Helena police officer who lived in the home. Investigators reported finding no evidence of criminal negligence and no charges were filed. Bella was in kindergarten at T.R. Simmons Elementary School and remembered by her family for loving the park, church choir, the color red, cats, vanilla ice cream, and spaghetti with cheese.

Does anyone in Maylene have information that could add context to what happened that day?
