Izabella Rose Votta was a 6-year-old girl from Panama City, Florida, who died on May 3, 2015, after a bullet fired by her father, Evan Hernandez, pierced a wall and struck her in another room. Court documents describe the shooting as unintentional and say Hernandez was deeply distraught afterward.

The State Attorney’s office reviewed the case and decided not to file criminal charges, concluding the evidence did not support a criminal prosecution and characterizing the death as a tragic accident rather than the result of criminal negligence. The family held memorial services and her obituary noted her vibrant personality and the joy she brought to others.
