On April 7, 2023, in Fort Worth, Texas, 14-year-old Natavia Lauren Lewis died after a firearm in her home discharged and struck her in the head. The weapon was found in a closet on Daniel Street; Natavia’s 21-year-old sister handled the gun believing it to be unloaded when it unexpectedly fired. Family said another adult relative witnessed the shooting and tried to save Natavia, and neighbors recalled hearing a gunshot followed by screams. Medics pronounced Natavia dead at the scene and a pink memorial was placed in the family’s front yard.

The Fort Worth Police Department investigated, interviewing the older sister and the eyewitness, and concluded the shooting was accidental. No charges were filed against the 21-year-old sister. What can readers who knew Natavia or have information about the household or the incident add to the record?
