Six-year-old Fiya Hollis died after a firearm he found at home discharged and struck him in the torso. The shooting happened at the family’s apartment in Indian Oaks Apartments in Fort Valley, Georgia, on a Monday evening; emergency services were called about 7:55 p.m. and Fiya was taken to Peach County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Fiya was reportedly at home with two older siblings, ages 10 and 13, when he came across the handgun his mother kept for protection. The Fort Valley Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation opened a joint inquiry; family members and neighbors were interviewed and the Peach County Division of Family and Children Services also began an investigation. Authorities said the mother could potentially face negligence charges in connection with her son’s death.
