Deviante Gaines was 17 when he died from a single gunshot wound to the stomach in an Evansville, Indiana apartment on July 27, 2015. Emergency services were called that day and found Gaines deceased; a revolver was located near his body and several other people were believed to have been in the apartment at the time. The death was initially reported as an accidental shooting.

Investigators continued examining the circumstances, and in March 2016 a grand jury indicted 19-year-old Kevar Thomas on a charge of reckless homicide in connection with Gaines’ shooting. Thomas was arrested and held at the Vanderburgh County jail; details of the grand jury’s findings were not released because the proceedings are confidential under Indiana law. The case was then handled through the court system on the reckless homicide charge.

Are there people who were in that apartment or who knew Deviante who can shed light on what happened that night?
