POLICE HAVE NOT yet released information on how they believe a three-year-old boy got access to the handgun he used to fatally shoot a one-year-old relative.
Braylon Robinson died at a Cleveland hospital less than an hour after he was shot in the face on Sunday afternoon.
Braylon’s mother, 23-year-old Shanee Robinson, told police she was in the same room with her back turned to her son, the three-year-old and another one-year-old when she heard a gunshot and then discovered Braylon lying on the floor bleeding.
A handgun was found near the three-year-old boy, police said. The Cleveland police homicide unit is investigating.
Police chief Calvin Williams said criminal charges will likely be filed after investigators determine who owns the gun and how the child got access to it.
“A three-year-old cannot be held accountable for a tragedy like this,” Williams said Sunday, adding that someone knew the handgun was in the apartment and didn’t safeguard it. “People will be held accountable for this tragedy.”
The three-year-old and the surviving one-year-old are relatives of Shanee Robinson’s but were not Braylon’s siblings, a police spokesman said. The children, who were turned over to their mother Sunday, were not injured.
Robinson did not return telephone messages seeking comment Monday.
Williams called the shooting a sad day for Cleveland.
“This fascination that we have with handguns, not just in this city but in this country, has to stop,” Williams said. “This is a senseless loss of life.”

Fancy meeting you here, Rust
Should the last line not read ‘Farewell Hart and Cohle’?
Are you telling me I have Rust Cohle on the brain? *Ahem*
(That’s fixed)
Not to mention that Kelly Reilly was also in Calvary. Excellent actress.
She was indeed!
And Above suspicion with Ciaran Hinds too, tis was good too.
The joys of showbox means there won’t be much of a wait here
Loved the first season – had so much going for it with the cast involved. Colin Farrell is a great actor but has made some awful choices in the movies he’s made- fingers crossed this will get him back on track. Top marks for the Tache!!!
This series has a lot to live up to. Rust and Cohle were bloody great and Carcosa was an excellent story. Long live these great TV shows, because everything else on the box is cack!!!
Brilliant last season
Preserve us from Colin Farrell.
have your say
