10-Year-Old American Charged With Murder For Shooting A 7-Month-Old Baby by BlackViper(op): 3:31pm On Jun 29

An infant was killed in a shooting in St. Louis, and a 10-year-old was believed to have pulled the trigger, according to St. Louis City Police Spokesperson Mitch McCoy.

Police said the 7-month-old, later identified as Kiyomi Parker, was shot the afternoon of June 25 in the Baden neighborhood.

Officers said they did a “scoop and go” on the baby, grabbing her from the scene and putting her in the backseat of a police car to rush her to a hospital.

The officer in the backseat continued life-saving measures while other officers blocked traffic to try to get the infant to the hospital faster.

She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The 10-year-old was taken into custody the next day and charged with murder.

Based on First Alert 4’s research, it appears this is the youngest child in Missouri’s history to be charged with murder.

Missouri did not have a minimum age to charge a child with a serious felony, including murder, until 2024, when a state law set the minimum age for a minor to be certified as an adult to be 12 years old.

Police also said that a 19-year-old man was questioned and arrested. He is facing gun charges.

This is the second minor to be shot and killed in St. Louis City this week.

Just from the name mentioned and other details, I can already tell a lot about the background of the shooter.

Like those dunces will always say, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people”

When guns are littering everywhere and you expect gun violence and crime not to peak!

Anyways, thoughts and prayers!

Gun is like purewater in USA. How did a 10 year old get the gun? The owner of the gun should be charged for negligence.

So how will he be punished now?....what kind of punishment will be meted on him?. undecided

The owner of the gun and his immediate guardian should be charged with negligence and should face a brutal punishment...... America's leadership need to also do something about the amount of guns circling around and how easy it is for every tom, dick and Harry to get a gun.

Every invention, every idea, every belief, have side effects.

What humans create can spiral out of control. We have to use conscious effort to check all excesses

This is scary though. The U.S really need to take a more drastic approach to gun violence and the availability of that tool to just anyone.

Arrest the parents for not training the child properly.

THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO "CHARGE" A 10 YEAR OLD CHILD WITH ANYTHING.

THESE PEOPLE ARE MONSTERS.

WHAT THE HELL?

IF ANYONE SHOULD BE CHARGED, IT'S THE FOOL WHO LEFT A BLOODY LOADED GUN WHERE A 10 YEAR OLD COULD PICK UP AND USE.

THEY NEED TO RELEASE THAT POOR CHILD IMMEDIATELY.

DISGUSTING AND DESPICABLE.

Things like this happen in a country that sell guns like the way they sell newspapers in Nigeria. The kid must have taken it for a toy. He definitely did not purchase it.

When a country has more guns than humans, that's what will ensue.

It's partly as a result of having access to too much food!

i get your point, but his parent/ guardian didn't tell him to go for a shooting spree. What if the kid stole the gun?

Its a doubled edged sword. Imagine if guns were littered everywhere in Nigeria, and a lot of households had guns, do you think Boko Haram and Bandits will be able to terrorise people like they currently do?

The weekend my brother landed in America, one of our cousins took him to a gun range with his own gun. My brother said he was shocked all through the day, cos this guy was quite younger than us and had lived with us when he was younger. To think our cousin had his own personal licensed gun blew my mind.

Let me tell you how it always play out in America. They will sentence him to 20yrs in prison and he comes out at 30yrs and kill another person and then they sentence him to life in prison.
