Father Charged After 10-Year-Old Son Allegedly Shot and Killed Another Child
The father of a 10-year-old who allegedly shot and killed another child in California has been charged by the Sacramento District Attorney’s Office.
The boy is alleged to have shot the other child, Keith Frierson, also 10, with a stolen gun that he found in his father’s vehicle on Saturday.
The father, Arkete Davis, 53, appeared in court on Wednesday and was charged with criminal storage of a firearm, two counts of child endangerment, felon in possession of a firearm, and other crimes.
“Based on the facts currently known, the sole criminal liability and responsibility for the child’s death (lies) exclusively with this Defendant,” the District Attorney’s office said.
Brittani Frierson, Keith’s mother, told KCRA that her son was shot after losing a bicycle race outside the family’s apartment at around 4:30 p.m.
