Patrice Price, a 26-year-old Black woman from Milwaukee, died on April 26, 2016, after a single gunshot struck her in the back while she was driving on Highway 175 with her mother and two young sons. The firearm involved was a .40-caliber handgun that had reportedly slid out from under the driver’s seat of a car belonging to her boyfriend. A two-year-old in the back seat, not secured in a car seat, found the gun and fired the shot. Price’s mother, riding front passenger, stopped the vehicle and deputies performed CPR, but Price was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators recovered the gun and a gun belt from the back seat. Family members said Price was driving that car because her own vehicle, which contained her children’s car seats, had been stolen days earlier. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the case and declined to file criminal charges, determining there was no evidence of criminal intent and ruling the shooting an accident.

Does anyone have information about the vehicle, the handgun, or other details from that day that could add clarity to what happened?
