Braxton Lee Fender was four years old when he died at his home in Paragould, Arkansas, on November 26, 2013. Born October 5, 2009, Braxton was a Caucasian child survived by his parents, Greg and Alexis Fender, and his brothers.

Authorities say Braxton’s death was ruled an accidental shooting after he found an unattended firearm and shot himself in the face. The Paragould Police Department investigated. The Arkansas Department of Human Services had opened a protective services case for the family in November 2012 and closed it in September 2013, two months before the fatal incident. No arrests or suspects have been reported in connection with his death.

Anyone who knew Braxton or has information about the circumstances in Paragould in late 2013 is asked to come forward.
