Ryver Rain Carole Milloy, a 14-year-old from Gooding, Idaho, died on July 29, 2024, after sustaining a fatal gunshot wound at a residence. The shooting occurred in a barn while Ryver was with two teenage boys cleaning up after chores. A 15-year-old reportedly picked up a shotgun, pointed it at Ryver, and pulled the trigger, allegedly not knowing the firearm was loaded. Ryver was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival; investigators determined the death resulted from negligent handling of a firearm and described the shooting as accidental.

Ryver was remembered as an exemplary student and musician. She maintained a 4.0 average, never missed a day of school, and played three saxophones, two guitars, and keyboard while teaching herself piano and violin. Friends and family described her as kind, protective of those who were bullied, creative, deeply religious, and fond of animals and art.

Charges were filed against the 15-year-old in connection with the shooting. Anyone who knew Ryver or has information about the incident is asked to come forward.
