Nine-year-old Miyanna Jelks was killed inside her Milwaukee home on March 10, 2018. A brother found a loaded 9mm handgun in the house, removed the magazine but did not realize a round remained in the chamber. While handling the pistol he accidentally discharged it, and Miyanna was struck. She was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly before 1 p.m.

Investigators reported a gun lock was in the home but had not been used. The handgun had been purchased by Lee the day before the shooting. Initial statements to police by Lee were inconsistent; after being confronted, Marcel Jelks acknowledged both parents had left the children home to shop for clothes. Both parents were arrested and charged; Marcel Jelks was convicted of child neglect resulting in death and sentenced to 13 years in prison plus nine years extended supervision, and Talisha Lee pleaded guilty to neglect resulting in death and received two years in prison and four years of extended supervision. Miyanna’s brother was placed in the Milwaukee County Children’s Court Center.

What anyone with information about the circumstances that day can add to the record?
