Elijah Abreu Borgen, a 3-year-old, was killed by a gunshot to the torso at a residence on East Hamilton Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on March 28, 2024. Emergency responders transported him to Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest, where he was pronounced dead. The Lehigh County Coroner’s Office ruled the death an accident.

Investigators say a loaded Glock 19 semi-automatic handgun had been left unattended in the room with Elijah and another 2-year-old. Jose Hilario Abreu, 28, told police he placed the firearm under the sofa where the children were sitting and later heard a loud noise, returning to find Elijah wounded. Evidence indicated the unholstered gun was on a pillow on the couch, and a presumptive gunshot residue test on Elijah’s hands was positive. Abreu was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter of a victim under 12 and two counts of endangering the welfare of children.

Who knew Elijah or has information about what happened that afternoon?
