Madchen Sloan, 21, died from a single gunshot on October 15, 2019, in Tupelo, Mississippi. Police found Sloan’s body at a residence on Leighton Drive after a call around 1:00 a.m.; the manner of death was recorded as a gunshot wound and the incident was treated as a death investigation.

Daniel Gilbert, who was at the scene, said he had picked Sloan up from work the night before and that the shooting occurred when a firearm accidentally discharged as he reached for it; Gilbert described Sloan as being like a brother. Onilisa Zinn, who was at the residence, performed CPR but Sloan could not be revived. Gilbert was briefly taken into custody and later released while investigators continued to examine the circumstances. The initial reports did not classify the death as a criminal act, and no public announcement of charges has been made.

Are there details from that night or from the people who knew Madchen that could clarify what happened on Leighton Drive?
