Surviving family members of a 4-year-old boy who died in a home on Milwaukee's north side on Friday evening say they doubt the police department's version of the story, that the boy found a gun and shot himself.VIDEO: Police say boy, 4, accidentally shot himself"It's just a big ol' mystery that we really need to be solved, and somebody need to do time for what happened to him," said Quintrell Smith, a cousin to 4-year-old Solomon Jordan Smith. Police were called to the home on the 2100 block of North 15th Street at about 6 p.m. Friday. The boy's grandmother had been raising him, Quintrell Smith said. He and other relatives expressed shock to learn that the boy's mother had been making arrangements at JD Davis Funeral Home without their knowledge."That's his grandmother, you know, and I just feel like she should be involved in everything. Shouldn't nothing be a secret from her because if it wasn't for that lady, that baby wouldn't have had everything that he did have," Smith said. Police said Solomon's 21-year-old mother was arrested and booked for leaving or storing a firearm within the reach of a child. She was released. Police said she has been ordered to appear at the district attorney's office next week to have the case reviewed."Any type of a tragic death like this is horrible. It's horrible for the family. It's horrible for the neighborhood. It's unthinkable no matter what," Milwaukee police Chaplain Lynne Hines-Levy said.A small memorial with balloons and a plastic red steering wheel has been erected at a light pole outside the boy's home.41936044
