Roy McCola Summers was six years old when he died of a gunshot wound sustained at home on the evening of April 10, 2022. Emergency responders found him at a residence on East Lincoln Avenue in Fort Collins; he was transported to a hospital and later died. The Larimer County Coroner’s Office ruled the death an accident.

Investigators determined Roy had found a handgun inside the house. The firearm was identified as belonging to his mother, 40-year-old Rosinetta Mackall, and authorities alleged she had taken the gun out earlier that day and left it unsecured in an area accessible to her children. Arrest warrants were later issued charging Mackall with felony child abuse resulting in death and unlawful storage of a firearm. Ron Matthews, 35, who was not living in the home at the time, faced charges of attempting to influence a public servant and tampering with physical evidence for allegedly lying to investigators and interfering with evidence. Both Mackall and Matthews turned themselves in.

Who in the Fort Collins community has information about how the handgun came to be left unsecured in that house?
