A 10-year-old boy is facing a murdr charge for sho0ting a seven-month-old baby girl de@d with a gun he found under a mattress. The boy, who has not been named, sh0t baby Kiyomi Pawnell-Parker in the head on Saturday afternoon, June 20, inside a home in St Louis, Missouri, police said.  Officers rushed Kiyomi to a nearby hospital in their police cruiser, but the doctors were unable to save her. The boy was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murdr. Kiyomi’s 19-year-old father, Ca’Marion Pawnell, was also arrested and charged with second-degree murdr, first-degree child endangerment resulting in de@th, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child by creating substantial risk.  Pawnell told police that he owned the gun and had stored it under the mattress in a bedroom at the home, according to a probable cause statement obtained by KSDK. The 10-year-old knew where the gun was being stored and told police he had taken it out to play with it before, the charging document said. He also admitted to shooting Kiyomi in the head, officers said in the affidavit. A seven-year-old child was at the home during the deadly sho0ting. Officers have not revealed the relationship between Pawnell, who is being held without bond, and the other two children. Kiyomi’s heartbroken mother Janyla Parker has launched a GoFundMe campaign in an effort to raise money for the funeral and other related expenses. ‘At just 19 years old, I never imagined I would be planning my seven-month-old daughters funeral instead of watching her grow,’ Parker wrote. ‘My precious baby, Kiyomi Pawnell-Parker, was taken from me far too soon due to a senseless act of gun violence. No parent should ever have to experience this kind of heartbreak.’She described the death of her daughter as an ‘unimaginable loss’ and thanked all those who donate for ‘helping me give my beautiful baby the farewell she deserves.’ Pawnell is a graduate of East St Louis High School in Illinois and was preparing to attend college, his grieving sister revealed on social media.  The post 10-year-old boy faces first degree murdr charge for sho0ting 7-month-old child de@d appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
