Little Jamarcus was a passenger in a vehicle near S. Arlington St. and Davies Avenue when the incident occurred around 9:30 a.m Wednesday morning.

Akron Police say it appears the child got his hands on the gun and fired the shot that killed him, but Medical Examiner's investigator Guenther says they still haven't confirmed that.
