On the morning of March 5, 2014, seven-year-old JDuan Hill found a gun inside a home on Wealthy Street in Mobile, Alabama. While handling the firearm it discharged and struck him in the head. Emergency responders took him to U.S.A. Medical Center, where he had emergency surgery but later died from his injuries.

Mobile Police Department detectives processed the scene and interviewed those present. Their initial findings indicated the shooting was accidental, and authorities announced they did not anticipate filing criminal charges while detectives continued their investigation. This was a tragic death of a child at home; no criminal charges were expected at the time.

If anyone knew JDuan or has additional information about the circumstances in that house, please share what you know.
