Two-year-old Lohki Richard Bloom died on October 21, 2018, in Colorado Springs after a loaded handgun left inside the family home discharged when he picked it up. Surveillance footage described in reports shows the child, who liked dancing and singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and was known as lil-man, Yoki, and Bra-da, putting the gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger while playing near a home office.

Authorities say the firearm belonged to his mother, Melissa Michelle Adamson, and that it had no safety with a round in the chamber. Investigators reported finding the weapon accessible after Adamson, who was 32 at the time and described as high on methamphetamine, had been arguing with a drug dealer, received threatening texts, and loaded the gun despite Lohki’s father advising otherwise; an ax and drug needles were also found within reach of the children. Adamson was arrested on a charge of child abuse resulting in death and later pleaded guilty and was sentenced in December 2019.

Does anyone have information about who else was in the home that night or recall details about the household conditions leading up to Lohki’s death?
