Hunter Freeman, a 4-year-old boy from Corsicana, Texas, tragically lost his life on February 5, 2022. Hunter was the son of Pattie Freeman, and he was fatally shot during a mass shooting that targeted his family. The incident occurred at two different locations in Navarro County, Texas. Hunter's death was part of a larger tragedy that claimed the lives of four other family members, including his mother's former partner, Kevin Milazzo, who took his own life after the shooting spree.

Milazzo, the suspected gunman, had a lengthy criminal history that included previous incidents of assault, burglary, and making terroristic threats. On the night of the shooting, Milazzo killed his mother, Connie Mimms, his stepfather, William Mimms, his adult son, Joshua Milazzo, and Hunter Freeman. The surviving family members were transported to hospitals for treatment, but Hunter did not survive his injuries.
The Corsicana Police Department received a 911 call early in the morning reporting that a suspect had killed his family members. Responding officers found the bodies of Connie Mimms and William Mimms at the first residence, and later discovered Hunter and Joshua Milazzo at a second location in Frost, Texas. Milazzo's vehicle was tracked using GPS, and he was found critically injured from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
The motive for the killings has not been revealed by investigators, but the tragic event has deeply affected the Corsicana community. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and authorities continue to search for answers to understand what led to this devastating incident.
Hunter Freeman's death has left a lasting impact on his family and the community, and his memory is honored by those who knew and loved him.
