Lebron Davis was 14 when he died on August 14, 2014, in Midwest City, Oklahoma. He was in a garage with two other boys, a 16-year-old and a 14-year-old, when a rifle discharged and struck him in the chest; first responders found him deceased at the scene. The rifle had been reported stolen three years earlier.

At first the other teenagers told authorities Lebron had shot himself, but their story later changed. They admitted the shooting was unintentional and occurred while the three were playing with the firearm. The Midwest City police chief described the event as a tragic accident that could have been prevented. No immediate arrests were made, and the district attorney’s office was to decide whether charges would be filed.

Lebron was remembered as a sweet, fun-loving boy who cared about family, friends, school, and basketball; the school district offered support to his grieving family. If anyone was in the area that day or has information about the rifle or the events in that garage, please come forward.
