Seven-year-old Zeus Bastien Diviaio died on March 12, 2012, in Little Rock, Arkansas, after a firearm was accidentally discharged by his nine-year-old sister. Their parents had briefly left the apartment to sign paperwork in the rental office when the weapon went off. Zeus was taken to Baptist Health Medical Center and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The Little Rock Police Department investigated and, after a comprehensive review, concluded the shooting was accidental. No arrests were made and no charges were filed in connection with Zeus’s death. The case is a stark reminder of the dangers firearms pose in homes with children and the importance of secure storage.

Did anyone in Little Rock know the family or have information about the circumstances in the apartment that day?
