Trevon Isaiah Madise was 13 when he died from a gunshot wound to the head in Patterson, Louisiana. The incident occurred late on the night of December 19, 2015, after a deputy responding nearby was flagged down by residents and found the unresponsive seventh-grader inside an apartment. Trevon was pronounced dead at 2:10 AM.

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office and the parish coroner investigated. Evidence collected at the scene led investigators to conclude the shooting was accidental and that no foul play was suspected. The community and Trevon’s school grieved the loss; Patterson Junior High provided ministers to support students, and funeral services were held the following Saturday at Deep Waters Ministries with burial at Patterson Memorial Park.
