A family in Muskegon, Michigan, lost 14-year-old Kahmyah Robertson on the afternoon of August 20, 2018, when she was fatally wounded by a gunshot in the home. Emergency responders were called for an unresponsive baby but found Kahmyah with a gunshot injury; she was taken to a local hospital and died of her wounds. The weapon was identified as a 9mm semi-automatic handgun.

The shooting was described by family members, including the siblings’ mother, as a tragic accident and was reported to have involved Kahmyah’s 16-year-old brother, Marcus Johnson. Johnson was taken into custody and charged by the Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office with open murder. He was held at the Muskegon County Juvenile Transition Center, the court denied release to his mother on a tether, and the decision was made that he would be tried as an adult in the juvenile court system. The final disposition of the charges is not detailed.

If anyone knew Kahmyah or has information about what happened that afternoon, please share what might help clarify the case.
