A’monzel Binion
Age 5
Anchorage, Alaska
Killed before first day of school
He was going to start school in one month in Anchorage, Alaska.
Like many other 5-year-old boys, he loved playing with dinosaur toys. His favorite color was blue. His little sister was his best friend, and they would play and wrestle together. He had a knack for cheering her up and making her laugh uncontrollably. His parents said, “His beautiful smile could melt the hearts of those around him.”
On July 27, 2018, A’monzel Binion reached into a kitchen cabinet when his babysitter was out of the room, found a loaded handgun, and accidentally shot and killed himself.
