Three-year-old James Kenneth Lil Jimmy Lindquester died on October 9, 2020, after an accidental shooting inside his family’s home in Aloha, just outside Beaverton, Oregon. Family members told authorities the toddler found a handgun in a bedroom end table drawer and, around 9:50–10:00 p.m., shot himself in the head. First responders performed life-saving measures and took him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly before midnight.

Deputies from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and detectives from specialized investigative units responded and opened an investigation. Early reports said no arrests had been announced and that decisions about potential charges would rest with the district attorney once the investigation was complete. The child was publicly memorialized as Lil Jimmy; some outlets listed the place of death as Beaverton while local reports placed the incident at the family residence in Aloha.

Does anyone have information about the case or knew the family that could help clarify what happened?
