According to warrants, Robinson informed officers that the toddler was sleeping alone in the parents’ bedroom, where the gun was in a purse that was hung on the door. The boy’s father reported to the police that he heard what he believed to be a book falling. When Robinson noticed blood on the boy, the parents hurried him to the hospital, where he passed away.
According to the warrants, they informed investigators that the toddler was shot when the purse fell and exploded when it struck the ground.
However, an autopsy report found that the bullet entered the boy’s mouth and left at an upward angle in the back of his head. The weapon was within inches of Jayce when it fired, according to investigators. According to the warrants, if the bullet had been shot from the floor, it would have also hit the mattress.
Questions about whether the youngster shot the gun were not immediately answered by Atlanta police, and the warrants don’t specify how detectives think the gun was discharged. Robinson was accused in his death, according to the warrant, because she was the owner of the pistol and it was not locked or out of the child’s reach.
Lisanne Edelman, Robinson’s lawyer, refrained from commenting on the ongoing case on Wednesday. Robinson was arrested earlier that month and freed from the Fulton County jail in May on a $20,000 bond.
