BALTIMORE — A young girl has died days after accidentally shooting herself in the head with a stolen gun found at her grandmother's home.
Baltimore Police on Wednesday announced the death of 10-year-old E’vaa Sewell.
The tragic incident took place last Saturday in the 3500 block of Ingleside Avenue.
Detectives believe E'vaa got a hold of the weapon while her grandmother was at work, accidentally pulling the trigger.
E'vaa passed away Tuesday. She would have turned 11 in February.
Her grandmother, 51-year-old Alethea Mitchell, now faces a slew of firearms charges.

The gun turned out to be stolen from North Carolina, and Mitchell is prohibited from possessing a firearm due to prior burglary and drug convictions.
"Our sweet little E'vaa was a student at Carter Elementary/Middle School," a Baltimore City Schools spokesperson confirmed.
Editor's Note: Baltimore Police initially reported that E'vaa was 9-years-old. This story was revised to state her correct age of 10.
