10-year-old Missouri boy becomes youngest person in state history to face murder charges after shooting baby in head
A 10-year-old Missouri boy has been charged with murder for allegedly shooting a 7-month-old baby in the head, with the tiny victim’s teenage dad also charged for allowing the kid to get the gun.
The accused preteen killer — who was unidentified because of his age — is believed to be the youngest person to have ever been charged with murder in Missouri.
He was taken into custody Friday after cops rushed to a St. Louis home over a reported shooting and found baby Kiyomi Parker with a gunshot wound to the head, according to police and local reports.

Officers performed life-saving efforts as they rushed the baby to a local hospital, but she died of her injuries, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement.
Witnesses at the harrowing scene said the handcuffed boy picked up a gun hidden under a mattress in a bedroom and shot the victim, court documents obtained by First Alert 4 showed.
