Eight-year-old Andre Lamont ONeal Jr. died after a single gunshot at a babysitter’s house in the Shawnee neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, on the evening of Saturday, January 9, 2016. He was a student at Northaven Elementary School in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and was described by his father as a good little boy, smart and bright.

Elgin Anders was present at the gathering and said he was holding a gun that accidentally discharged, striking Andre. Anders said he had barbecue sauce on his fingers and the weapon slipped as he tried to put it away. Rather than calling 911, Anders drove the critically injured child to Kosair Children’s Hospital, where Andre could not be saved. The family questioned why an ambulance was not summoned.

A grand jury later indicted Anders on reckless homicide. He maintained the shooting was accidental and subsequently pleaded guilty to reckless homicide in July 2017. Did anyone who knew Andre or who was at that gathering see something that could clarify what happened that night?
