Kemar D. Hinton was a 4-year-old Black boy who died on October 26, 2021, after a late-night shooting at a home on Balsa Avenue in Greensboro, Alabama. Police were called to the residence around 11 p.m.; the child was rushed to Children’s of Alabama Hospital but did not survive. Initial public statements described the incident as a likely self-inflicted, accidental gunshot wound, and few details were released about how a firearm became accessible or who was present.
Subsequently the official account changed: reporting attributed to the district attorney stated Kemar did not shoot himself and that the case would be presented to a Hale County grand jury to consider whether criminal charges were warranted. No named suspect, arrest, or specific charges were reported in those updates. Key questions remain about who handled the firearm, the circumstances that allowed access, and what the evidence presented to the grand jury showed.
Did anyone in the Greensboro area have information about the household or events on Balsa Avenue that night?
