We got to cover Well, not only that, but because he you guys brought him here, that's a crime scene technically until they figure out what happened. >> While everyone was struggling to find the truth, the aunt coldly avoided questions, repeating, "I don't know." whenever police asked about the child and the parents. >> Real quick, >> what's your sister's name? Cuz she's being taken care of at the hospital. >> What's your sister's name? She's been taken care of at the hospital. I guess the kid, the nephew shot himself in the hand. So, we got some deputies over there. You know, the doctors are obviously attending his home. I wasn't able to get information of who lives inside, what's your nephew's name, and uh the sister's name. You mind providing me with that just so for the report? >> Well, I prefer her to give it to you. I don't even want to talk cuz I don't even know what's going on.

We didn't go inside anything yet. I was waiting to hear from you before we started doing all that. I'll send you a screenshot. It's It's in between the living room and the kitchen leading into the wall. It's They have a dark carpet in the living room, so it's hard to really tell if there's any blood on it or not.

I didn't see anything. >> I'm not really going to [ __ ] around and like start tossing [ __ ] We'll let the search warrant handle that unless it's like under the couch. >> I guess they're telling it happened in the living room.

Traine can do it. I would say the bed is kind of like in this area here where you can just climb up on the couch and look under. >> I think they took it with them or somebody came in and grabbed it. >> You checked under the cushions. >> Yeah. I don't know about those last two. I checked the one where I found the blood cuz there's blood right here on the couch, too. >> Did you check the immediate area where blood was >> in a [snorts] corner somewhere?

How old are you, sir? >> 56. >> 56. Okay. If you would, please raise your right hand. You swear that everything that you told me so far and everything that you're about to tell me is the truth. >> Yes. >> Tell me what happened today. >> I went out there. I was working in the house. I went out there to hold my son. She didn't come help me. Came out my grandma and came out and talked to me. Then he told the grandma to go in the house cuz I was going to leave. I hear a pop. Next thing I know, the grand baby come out screaming, grab me. >> What house were you at when the incident happened? >> Friend Village. >> Friend Village. Do you know the address there? >> Okay. And the friend village address, that's his girlfriend's house. >> That's his girlfriend. >> What's his girlfriend's name? And at about what time do you think you you came? >> I couldn't tell you. At my house, we went stuck all by myself. So, I didn't even look at the time, but I know when we made it here, it had to be 12:40. So, this happened probably about 12:20. >> About 12:20. Yeah. So, you got to the house probably about 12:20. I'm not holding you to to the time. How far do you live from the house that you came over? Two miles. >> Two miles. So, it didn't take you long at all to get over there. Before you came over to the house, were you and your son talking? >> No. You weren't on the phone. You just showed up at the house because you knew he was there. Yeah. >> Is that what you said? Okay. So, you came over there. Was anybody outside when you pulled up in the driveway? >> No. I blow the horn. Him and the kids came out. >> And when you say kids, there's more than one kid that they >> K3. I don't know his real name. I don't know his real name. >> You call him K3? >> Yeah. >> How old is he? >> Seven, eight. Seven or eight. Is that also your son's? >> No. Child. >> His father was the guy that just was talking when we were walking. That's his father right there. >> Okay. You came over there about 12 something. Not exactly sure at the time. When you got over there, nobody was outside. You blew the horn. Your son came out with the two kids. Yeah. >> Okay. At the time that they came out for the two kids, what was happening? Were they saying anything? >> Yeah. He was saying, "Granddaddy, I want another Jeep." All that. I told him, "Grand got the money right now. Wait till your birthday or Christmas." And then he was jumping on the truck. That's what my son just keep jumping on the door playing with me. And my son told him, "Say, y'all go in the house. I'll be ready." Soon as they went in the house, I heard a pop and my son went running. >> All right. About how long do you think the interaction happened with you and the kids and jumping up and down? >> Three or four minutes. >> Three or four minutes. >> So about 3 or 4 minutes, you got there, you blew the horn. After 3 or 4 minutes, they came out. You talked for a little bit. You heard a pop and your son ran. >> My son Yeah. told him say, "Y'all go in the house. I'm going to come in the house cuz he he keep him. He be watching." So he walked back and he was going to walk back. He was even all the way with me. He had just walked off from me going to the house and heard a pop. >> You originally said they were outside jumping around. >> But he told him to go in the house. He on his way. He said, "Y'all go in the house. I'm coming." >> Yeah. You didn't tell me that yet. That's >> That's what I just told you. Didn't I tell him that? I said he told him to go in the house and he was on his way walking away from my van to go in the house. >> After that, [snorts] everything descended into chaos. But amid the tangled story, one thing was clear. The gun was never safely stored and the adults were careless in protecting the child. >> What I mean is when when we're originally talking about them jumping up and down, I didn't hear you say that. Okay. >> You just clarified that just now. You see what I mean? At some point after they were jumping up and down on your car, they walked away cuz your son told you. >> He told him to go in the house. >> You two were still out at the car. >> By the time they made it to the porch, the two the baby went in first. The other one was out there throwing a ball. My son was walking off on the truck. >> Okay. He was going in be right behind me and he heard a pop and he ran. >> All right. When your son ran, what did you do? >> Jumped out my truck and ran over there, too. >> Okay. When you ran over there, what did you see? And what did you hear? >> Baby crying and my son grabbed him and br him over there to me. I say, "Wrap his hand up." And they did. And I br here. All right. Say they house is right there at that tree. >> Okay. >> I'm in the parking lot right here with his thing. Because somebody tried to back out. That's why I had to move from in front of the house. So you're from here to the blue. >> I'm from that tree. >> From the tree down right here. >> That house. >> Correct. >> And when the kids, he told me the kids to go in the house. They walked in the house. Baby boy walked in first. The other boy was throwing the ball on the porch like walking to the house. He heard a pop. My son took off. My son was already walking toward the house. Son took off. I took off. When I got back to this black thing, my son was coming out with his son. My heart dropped. >> Oh, he was already coming out. >> Yeah. He was coming with the baby. >> Okay. So you never made it in to see what was going on in the house? >> No. No. your son telling you anything? >> No. He said, "My baby, my baby." And he grabbed the baby. He grabbed the towel. My other boy said, "What happened?" It seen the on his hand. Grabbed the towel, wrapped it up, and I just put him in the truck. >> The other son that was at the house that grabbed the towel to help wrap what's his name? >> My other son's at >> Where's he at? >> He probably I don't know where he at really. I don't. That mother was just out there cuz I was talking. He was supposed to help me too. >> He never came to the hospital after that incident. And you never heard from him on the phone? >> No. He called me and asked me, "Is the baby all right?" That's it. When he called you and asked you, "Was the baby all right?" Did he tell you anything about what he had seen? >> No, he didn't see nothing cuz he when he when he came, he pulled up. I was talking y'all supposed to help me move stuff out the house and he just walked in. He walked got out of his car, walked and then when he heard the noise, he just grabbed the towel, gave it to him, and I took off. >> So, but at the point he grabbed the towel, he was in the house. Where did he grab the towel from? >> Out of his car. >> Was there any type of conversations going on in the house about >> No. She was saying because J Sean was freaking out about his baby. He was telling them he was saying, "Hold on. I don't know what's going on. I don't know." She pretty much didn't know what was going on. And it wasn't her fault cuz she had just walked around the corner. They had just looked like they were just getting up. Look like all of them look like they were just getting up. See, and the kids usually go to school. I guess they missed Baby Jay. I know about him cuz I pick him up from day. >> And when you heard that pop, that sound like a firecracker. What direction was that coming from? >> Uhhuh. That's what made my son just take off. He was already walking down when he heard the pop. He took off. Do you know the dynamics of the house? You've been in the house before? Yes. What part of the house was that coming from? That part? >> I couldn't tell you cuz I went inside. >> No, but I mean, you heard it, right? >> Front. It had to be in the front. >> Had to be in the front. >> Yeah. Had to be in the living room. >> Was your grandson saying anything as you were driving him over here? >> No, he actually was tough to quiet. He didn't say nothing. He stopped crying after my son grabbed him cuz I think my son scared him. >> That car. Are you the registered owner of the vehicle that sparked over there? No one else's name is on that? >> No, ma'am. >> All right. Do you give us permission to go in and actually look inside the car? Detective Jazir is going to want to do that. >> I had to wait that my son saw itself with by me being in the panic. The gun was by the door at first, but there was so much people outside. I was in the pic. I was grabbing the gun and put it somewhere. I grabbed him and ran outside. I couldn't even They said it's not right though and my door left open. A lot of people was outside. I don't know. So I I was trying to see like some stuff together or something. I don't know. I can't remember where I placed it at. >> Whose is it? >> It's mine. Is it my name? It's mine. It's mine. >> Now even the car was sealed off for investigation. >> Take overall pictures and everything first so we have exactly what we have. I'm going to open up do the same thing inside. And after that we can look at everything. >> Starting out with the driver's side. Correction on that. the passenger side front of the vehicle and I'm going to work my way around the vehicle. It's taking images of everything just the way it is. I've already took it. So, as I'm going around, if you want to look at anything while I'm doing it, that'll be great. Did you check this box already? >> No, I just took overall pictures and I'm working my way around now to meet you as we're doing the search. And I'm just taking pictures of everything as I'm seeing it. Looks like it's possible that this might come off. >> This is one solid panel. >> That doesn't come off. Yeah. >> This one doesn't. >> Where do you think the gun could have gone if you said >> I don't know. I don't know what they did after that cuz I know they wouldn't they ain't had no conversation. They ain't call nobody. She tried to call her mom. Tell her mom. >> If you knew where it was, you would >> I would I would tell them to GIVE IT TO YOU. BRING GIVE IT TO YOU CUZ IT'S REGISTERED to him. Instead of making things worse, give it to you. Give them the goddamn give them people a gun cuz that would make things go way smoother. And instead of you hiding it, make like like you trying to hide something. Yeah, that would go. I mean, if it if it was if it's an accident, it's an accident. >> Accident. Yeah. >> So, it just not making any sense that >> the gun. >> It's just gone. >> I just asked them right there. Ryan Rhyme up. You know where the gun at? Get them keep the gun. These damn children make things harder than what it's supposed to be. >> Who did you have in the car with you? >> I had the mother, baby, and my son. >> And that was it. >> That was it. And me. >> And your son didn't have anything on him. >> No, he had his baby and he had nothing. If If it's gone, it had to be one of them nosy [ __ ] out in there and got that gone. Did y'all leave the house unlocked when you left? >> They ain't locked the door or nothing. She She didn't even She didn't even shut the damn door. She just jumped in the van and left. You know the door was open. >> Was there anybody at the house? No. >> Did you see anybody else outside hanging out? >> No. After the after the gunshot and everybody would try to come out the door, you know, once you hear a gunshot, people call. Everybody came. We was already taking off. >> Final statements from the parents help police put the pieces together and close the case. >> All right. If it's in the house, like you said, you left in the house. It's in the house. Who called 911? >> My sister. Your sister. Where was his sister at? >> All of was outside. >> So she don't not call 911. >> Yes, she don't want to talk about police detail. >> And she was at the house. >> Yeah, she stay right beside me. Like basically everybody was like outside on their porch. My dad pulled up. He was in my parking lot. Everybody was just talking about their business. When they heard it and they see me panicking and me saying he got shot, she started panic. Call the police. >> So what did doctor say to you about the your son? >> He good. You know what I'm saying? What does that mean? >> Um he just scraped top it. I guess you spray um some tissue right here. So they go send to the trauma center and say go here by itself. So you really got to do nothing but wrap it up or put nail on it. >> And that's happening sometime today. >> Yeah. They scared it and send them off. >> Okay. >> Yeah, we we we're working on that. So who could have have access to your house? >> The door left wide open. I know my little girl was thinking putting the door, but she end up going back around the corner. I don't know. >> All right. I'm going go inside real quick. I'll let you know what's going on. Okay. Although the child suffered only superficial injuries, the father was still arrested and held on serious charges of a child causing great bodily allowing a minor access to a loaded resulting in injury [music] or death. Under Florida law, he could face up to 20 years in prison, a $15,000 fine, and bail set at $50,000 or more. >> Excuse me. Is his dad on the phone? They want to speak with somebody about what's going on. >> What's going on? >> That's his dad. >> Hello. >> Hello. >> Hello, sir. How you doing? It's Corporal Reed. Yes, sir. He's being arrested. Cold due diligence for the child to get hold of a firearm. Now, he's coming out here to the West Detention Center, which is in Belg. I'm assuming it's somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000. It's a third degree felony. With a bomb, it'll either be 300 or 500 to get. >> No, 300. >> Yep. No problem. >> Gun ownership is a right, but not a privilege for everyone. If you can't protect your child from the very gun in your home, then you never deserve to have it. Life can place adults in stressful, but a child's safety must always remain the top priority. While laws and authorities help preserve order, true responsibility lies with the choices adults make. Staying calm, cooperating, and focusing on a child's well-being can prevent serious consequences and set an example of care, responsibility, and awareness for the next generation.
