Gabrielle Jones, 7, was shot in the head in her home in Gastonia on April 13 and was flown to the hospital with serious injuries, where she later died.

ABC affiliate WSOC is reporting that a music video was being filmed inside the home when the shooting happened, and the child’s uncle Jeremy Quintrel Lewis was handed a gun and fired it, sending a bullet through the wall, which hit his niece.

Witnesses told police that there were both real and fake guns being used for the video.

Court documents show that Lewis went to the hospital with his niece and her father and that’s where he was arrested.

The Charlotte man was originally charged with assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a weapon into occupied property causing serious bodily harm and possession of a firearm by a felon.

On Tuesday, those charges were upgraded to second-degree murder.

Lewis is being held without bond.

For fucks sake.....Using a loaded gun during a production. Real gangsta with a little g.

Both real and fake guns were used in the production. From the sound of it I’m guessing he thought he was given one of the fake guns. I wonder if the person handing him the gun thought it would be funny to hand a loaded real one. Sounds like a horrible and stupid accident to me.

If he pulled the trigger in a music video then where’s the video?

You see, that's where the problem began. Mixing fake props with the real articles, especially considering we are talking about tools of lethality here, is an inherent stupidity.

Shooting a music video: you're doing it wrong. If you bust a cap for a music video, it should only be a lens cap.
