Anthony Jaliel Lujan Hemmings-Taylor was 10 when he was fatally shot in an Aurora apartment on the night of June 3, 2016. Family members initially described the death as an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot at a vigil and march where the boy, known as Baby Anthony, was mourned.

The Adams County Coroner’s Office later ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound. Police say the two brothers had been handling a loaded handgun that night. Anthony’s 17-year-old brother, Jalecc Celanco Taylor, was arrested and charged as a juvenile with negligent child abuse resulting in death and juvenile possession of a handgun. Jalecc told police his brother had shot himself, but prosecutors pursued charges; he later pleaded guilty and in February 2017 received two years of supervised probation with a requirement to attend school or maintain full-time employment.

Anyone who knew Anthony or has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
