Seven-year-old Trenton Levi Joseph Thomas, known as Levi, died in Bessemer, Alabama on January 1, 2018 from what authorities and news reports described as an accidental shooting. A first-grade student at Greenwood Elementary School, Levi loved fishing, hunting, playing with his dogs and wanted to be a race car driver like his father. He was remembered by family as generous and good-hearted.

His family asked for donations to the Children’s Hospital of Birmingham in lieu of flowers.

If anyone knew Levi or has information about the circumstances of the shooting, please share what you know.
