CINCINNATI — In court Thursday WCPO learned a Madisonville man left a loaded gun accessible to his young children, leading to his 6-year-old shooting and killing his 3-year-old.
Deangelo Davis, 37, was arrested last month after his 3-year-old was shot and killed Sunday evening. Cincinnati police responded a single-family home in the 6100 block of Roe Street around 5:30 p.m.
Once on scene, police found the 3-year-old suffering from a gunshot wound.
The child was transported to Cincinnati Children's Hospital where they were pronounced dead, according to Cincinnati Police Lt. Jonathan Cunningham.
Court documents did not provide much detail, but said that Davis left his loaded gun in an "easily accessible" location for his 3-year-old and 6-year-old children. The 3-year-old boy died by "means of a gunshot" from that gun, according to court documents.
Davis is charged with involuntary manslaughter and endangering children.
He is held on a $100,000 bond.
Police also said that one officer was injured upon arrival at the scene. It is unclear at this time the nature of the injury, but it was non-life threatening and the officer was not shot.
