A New Year’s Eve celebration in Memphis ended in tragedy when three-year-old Brayden Smith was fatally struck by a bullet that entered his grandmother’s apartment. The child was inside watching television and eating when a round, believed to be from celebratory gunfire, penetrated a window and hit him. Paramedics took Brayden to a children’s hospital in critical condition; he died a few days later from his injuries.

The Memphis Police Department opened an investigation. Assistant Police Chief Don Crowe said preliminary findings indicate the shot may have come from another part of the apartment complex. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Brayden’s uncle described him as a happy child who was always close to his parents.

If anyone who lived in or near that complex on New Year’s Eve has information about where shots were coming from or saw suspicious activity, please come forward. Are there witnesses who can help pinpoint the origin of the gunfire?
