Five-year-old Mya White of Fort Wayne, Indiana, was killed on the night of February 13, 2015, in her own home. Described as bright-eyed and joyful and looking forward to starting kindergarten, Mya was struck by a single bullet above her right eye while kneeling nearby as her father, Toney White II, was showing firearms to a friend.

Mya was found in a pool of blood and taken to the hospital in critical condition; she died later that night. The Allen County coroner ruled the death a homicide. Investigators say the chrome 9mm handgun discharged while being handled and that blood was later located on bathroom walls and sink and on two firearms. Authorities report that Toney White II attempted to hide the guns in a dresser drawer and tried to clean up blood at the scene.

After about a monthlong investigation, Toney White II was arrested and charged with reckless homicide and neglect of a dependent resulting in death; court documents describe manipulating safeties and pulling triggers. Does anyone have information about the household or events that night that could help clarify what happened?
