Kendric Sumler was a 7-year-old Black boy from El Dorado, Arkansas, who died on June 25, 2017, after being struck by a small-caliber handgun round inside a family home. Investigators and the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory determined the shooting was accidental. Police said the person who fired the weapon was also a minor; adult relatives who were in the residence did not hear a gunshot and family members said they did not know a gun was in the house.

The firearm belonged to a relative who stayed at the home intermittently. No arrests were made, and police indicated no charges were anticipated.

Does anyone have information about the circumstances that led to the weapon being accessible in the home?
