On May 27, 2016, 10-year-old Anthony Harmon Jr., known as AJ, was found in the kitchen of an apartment in Cumberland, a suburb of Indianapolis, with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. No adults were present at the scene; only a group of children and teenagers were there, which complicated investigators’ efforts to reconstruct what happened. Anthony attended Grassy Creek Elementary School and would have been entering fifth grade.

Anthony’s family expressed the belief the shooting may have been an accident involving a child playing with a gun. Investigators pursued criminal charges, and a 13-year-old boy was arrested and charged with murder. The Marion County prosecutor handled the matter in juvenile court; court documents say the 13-year-old denied the allegations and was to be held in custody for his own protection and the community’s. Further details of juvenile proceedings are not available.

Does anyone have information about the apartment complex, the children who were there that day, or Anthony’s life in Cumberland?
