On June 17, 2019, five-year-old Dakari Weldon was shot at a residence in Kenosha, Wisconsin. A single gunshot caused a fatal wound; Dakari was driven to Froedtert South Hospital by two men who then left the hospital. Hospital staff pronounced the child dead after efforts to save him.

Police opened an immediate investigation after the boy arrived anonymously at the hospital and sought the two men who had dropped him off. Authorities later arrested two 24-year-old family members: one was held on suspicion of homicide by negligent handling of a firearm, and the other was charged with leaving a loaded firearm within the access of a child. The child’s grandfather described the shooting as a terrible accident and said his sons fled the hospital out of fear.

What can readers who knew the family or who were in the neighborhood that day add to the timeline or circumstances around the shooting?
