A family in Las Vegas is mourning after a child accidentally shot himself in the head recently at the house of a carer.
According to KLAS, around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, 2-year-old Jaiangelis Stevenson shot himself in the bedroom of a house not far from Nellis Air Force Base. The boy was rushed to University Medical Centre, where doctors certified him dead.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is currently investigating the incident for possible abuse and neglect. His aunt, Paris Box, disclosed that Jaiangelis was under the watch of a family member and his mother was working when the shooting happened. She also revealed that the family is trying to accept what happened.
She said: “We would actually call him ‘Blue’ because of his eyes. He would be like ‘Hi, Ti Ti’ and he would be walking around with his little popsicle.
“The family is working on accepting what happened. A child was shot with someone else’s gun and that is negligence, but I don’t know what happened. Because I know everyone’s heart involved, I don’t have hate in my heart, I’m disappointed a little bit, but I know that was not meant to happen.”
