A California father and his 10-year-old son are both in custody after the boy allegedly took a stolen gun from his father’s vehicle and fatally shot another child.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to the 4700 block of Greenholme Drive in Foothill Farms at around 4:30 p.m. Saturday after a report of a shooting.
They arrived to find a 10-year-old victim unresponsive and bleeding from his head and neck in the middle of the parking lot.
The boy was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
According to the sheriff’s office, witnesses at the scene pointed out the suspect’s apartment, and detained the juvenile suspect along with his father, identified as 53-year-old Arkete Davis.
The suspect allegedly went to his father’s vehicle to retrieve cigarettes and found a gun inside.
He “bragged that his father had a gun,” before allegedly shooting the victim once and running back to the apartment.
