Mother Charged with Second-Degree Murder in Tragic Death of Toddler Shot in Atlanta Apartment

On Wednesday, new details emerged in the tragic death of 2-year-old Jayce Davis, who was fatally shot in his Atlanta apartment in April. His mother, Cynkeythia Robinson, 36, has been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to children.

According to arrest warrants, police determined that Robinson’s firearm was not properly secured and found evidence that contradicted the story given by the parents. The autopsy report revealed that the bullet entered Jayce’s mouth and exited at an upward angle, indicating that the gun was likely fired from close range. This led authorities to believe that Robinson’s negligence played a role in the tragedy.

The details of this case are shocking and raise important discussions about gun safety in households with children. It serves as a heartbreaking reminder of the consequences of not properly securing firearms. Stay updated with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for further coverage on this ongoing case.
