The father of the 3-year-old Gilroy boy who accidentally shot and killed himself on July 5 will not be prosecuted, according to a report by the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office which called the shooting a “horrible, irreversible mistake.”
After concluding their investigation into the July 5 fatal shooting of a 3-year-old boy on Kentwood Court, the Gilroy Police Department sent their findings to the family violence unit of the District Attorney’s Office Wednesday morning.
While the family of the 3-year-old boy who was fatally shot the evening of July 5 has been left heartbroken, the investigation surrounding the cause of his death plods along under a cloud of confidentiality.
