2-year-old dies after finding mother’s loaded gun in LaGrange apartment

LaGrange police when officers arrived, they found Ayden King, 2, with a gunshot wound. He’d been shot in the face, police said. His mother, grandmother, and two older sisters were distraught.

“I can’t even put into words what I would feel, much less what they feel,” said Lt. Mark Cavender of the LaGrange Police Department.

Paramedics rushed the boy to WellStar West Georgia Medical Center, but he did not survive.

The family spokesperson released a statement about the shooting saying:

To whom it may concern: Ayden D King was born May 5, 2020. His mom’s name is Chepial Williams. Ayden was a joyful baby full of life!!! He loved Spiderman, Firetrucks and water!! There will be a go fund me posted for today also there will be a candlelight vigil at the apartment complex, will find out the date as of today and keep you all posted. As of now, no funeral arrangements are in place at this time. Thanks for the continued prayers.

Cavender said the preliminary investigation shows Ayden’s mother carries a gun for protection and that she has no criminal background which would prevent her from doing so. He said it appears she had just gotten home from work when she placed her belongings in what she thought would be a secure place as she went to the bathroom. Her son, however, found it.

Cavender said detectives do not believe the boy’s mother intended to be reckless or negligent with the gun.

“I was actually speaking with my daughter this morning. I’m expecting my first grandchild in June,” Cavender said. “With this incident right here, it makes me think when my grandson gets here and begins to walk and move around, I have to go back to like it was when I had small children to make sure the guns are not accessible.”

Cavender said it’s a tragic reminder for gun owners on the importance of taking a gun safety course. He said, when children are around, gun owners should lock their guns in cabinets or use safety locks to secure the triggers.

Detectives said the investigation continues, but at the moment, it does not look like anyone will face charges in this case.

Heavy police presence on FM 2090 and Crocket Martin prompted Conroe ISD schools to secure campuses Monday afternoon, according to the district.

This comes as the intense search for Francisco Oropesa enters day three. Oropesa is accused of killing his five neighbors, including an 8-year-old boy, in San Jacinto County, about 45 miles north of Houston.

He has been on the run since Friday night.

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said that a man who was possibly Oropesa was spotted in the area.

Deputies added that there is no confirmation that the man who resembles the wanted mass shooting suspect is Oropesa. In an update at 4:35 p.m., the sheriff's office said, "All persons in the area were investigated, and none were found to be Oropesa."

A person believed to be the man accused of killing five of his neighbors with an AR-15 rifle in their Texas home was apprehended by law enforcement agents Tuesday, an official said.

A person believed to be Francisco Oropesa, 38, was arrested in the city of Cut and Shoot, Texas, San Jacinto County District Attorney Todd Dillon said.

Authorities are awaiting fingerprints to confirm the person arrested is Oropesa, Dillon said. He has been taken to the Montgomery County Jail and is charged with first-degree murder, he said.

The FBI said it was planning a news conference Tuesday evening about the case.

If confirmed to be Oropesa, the arrest brings an end to the sprawling search that involved more than 250 law enforcement officers, the FBI and a reward of $80,000 for information.

Janette Mayo, 59, said the Okmulgee County Sheriff’s Office notified her on Monday about the deaths of her daughter Holly Guess, 35, and her grandchildren, Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17, Michael James Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13.

The other three found dead are believed to be sex offender Jesse McFadden, 15-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer. While authorities have yet to release a cause of death for the seven victims, Ms Mayo said the victims were shot by McFadden at various locations across his Henryetta property.

In a Facebook post, Ms Mayo indicated that her daughter was married to McFadden. Ivy and Brittany were named in an Amber Alert on Monday morning after disappearing while in McFadden’s company. The two girls were supposed to be going swimming at a creek with McFadden’s teenage daughter.

Meanwhile, records showed McFadden had been scheduled to appear in court on the same day that seven bodies were found.

Atlanta authorities are searching for the person who shot five people Wednesday at Northside Hospital Medical in Midtown Atlanta, killing one person and sending four others to the hospital, and then fleeing in a carjacked vehicle, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said during a Wednesday afternoon news conference.

The person who died was a 39-year-old woman, Schierbaum said. The injured victims were also all female, ranging from 25 to 71 years old.

The suspect, Deion Patterson, left the building and is believed to have carjacked a vehicle a short distance away, the police chief said.

He is still at large and there are active leads in Cobb County and in the city of Atlanta, Schierbaum said.

Authorities are trying to identify a suspect wanted for the Molino 2 Wildfire, which started on Sunday, April 30.

The fire resulted in the closure of the Catalina Highway in the Santa Catalina Ranger District, Coronado National Forest. Video shows the suspect shooting illegal shotgun rounds and the start of the wildfire.
