GREEN BAY (WLUK) - The man who allegedly supplied the gun one 5-year-old used to inadvertently shoot and kill another 5-year-old still does not have an attorney, but Jordan Leavy-Carter wants his preliminary hearing to go ahead anyway.

Skyé Bleu Evans-Cowley was killed in the Oct. 17 incident on Green Bay’s east side. Leavy-Carter is charged with second-degree reckless homicide, neglecting a child-consequence is death, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

In court Thursday, the court commissioner said the state Public Defender’s Office has reached out more than 80 attorneys but has not found anyone willing to take the case.

Leavy-Carter was arrested in October and has been held on a $500,000 cash bond since his Nov. 10 initial court appearance. Suspects in custody are entitled to have a preliminary hearing within 10 days, but that had been put on hold as the attorney search continued.

Leavy-Carter told the court Thursday he wants the hearing to proceed, even if he doesn’t have an attorney. It is scheduled for Dec. 9.

The child who did the shooting told police Leavy-Carter gave her the gun.

“Witness 1 (a 5-year-old) said she had the gun, and she touched the wrong button, and it came out like fire, and it hit S.E.C.,” the criminal complaint states. “Witness 1 said she shot it on accident and that Jordan had passed the gun to her, and she shot the wrong button... She again reiterated that Jordan gave her the gun, she was holding it, and she shot the wrong button.”

Leavy-Carter, 35, told police he was in the kitchen when the gun went off, and then entered another room to find Evans-Crowley had been shot.

Leavy-Carter told police he left the loaded gun on a TV stand – contradicting the child’s story he gave it to her - but didn’t think the children in the home could see it.

Leavy-Carter left the scene, and was later arrested in Beloit.

“Jordan stated he had not turned himself in because he panicked and just got done doing six years. Jordan stated he knew how bad it looked and that he didn't have a lawyer or bail money,” the complaint states.

Leavy-Carter said the gun wasn’t his gun but he had it for protection.

Evans-Crowley died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen, according to the complaint.
