Four-year-old Jamel Witcher Jr. died of a gunshot wound inside a west side Detroit home in January 2014.

Three adults were charged in connection with the child’s death on the basis that the firearm was accessible: 53-year-old Patricia Johnson, 55-year-old Harvey Witcher, and 66-year-old Robert B. Richardson. Johnson and Richardson were taken into custody and had bond set; authorities initially sought Harvey Witcher. All three faced involuntary manslaughter charges and counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The sequence given centers on an unsecured rifle in a room where young children were present and the resulting criminal charges against adults in the household. Does anyone have additional information about where in the neighborhood this happened or about the proceedings that followed?
