Christian Lesley was three years old when he was killed in an Oklahoma City apartment on January 15, 2022. His mother was incarcerated that morning and the children were in the care of her partner. A visitor, 22-year-old Kirk Chance, brought a loaded handgun into the apartment and left it on the floor under the bed where he slept.

While the caregiver was occupied, Christian wandered over to the sleeping visitor, found the unsecured firearm and accidentally discharged it, sustaining a fatal gunshot wound to his face. The shot awakened the adults; Chance panicked, picked up the gun and fled the apartment, later surrendering to authorities after his family urged him to do so.

After a year-long investigation, Chance was charged with second-degree manslaughter. Christian’s grandmother described him as a happy, smart child. Does anyone have information about Christian’s life, the apartment, or what happened that morning?
