Three-year-old Cameron Dillard died on June 20, 2017, after finding a handgun in the grass at the Newport Arms Apartment Complex in Clinton Township, Michigan and accidentally shooting himself in the chest. His mother took him to a nearby hospital, but the injury was fatal.

Police traced the handgun to 29-year-old Lamont Odell Johnson of Mt. Clemens, who reportedly frequented the apartment complex and was on parole for a prior weapons charge; investigators believe the gun fell out of his pocket. Johnson was located and arrested in Detroit the same day by the FBI Macomb County Violent Crimes Task Force.

Johnson was initially charged with second-degree murder and was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter and multiple gun-related offenses. He was sentenced to 17 to 50 years in prison; the family had sought the maximum sentence. Does anyone have information about the Newport Arms complex or that day in June 2017?
