In a tragic turn of events on May 24, 2016, in St. Louis, Missouri, an 8-month-old infant named Reign Amir Crockett was fatally wounded. The young male was struck by a bullet that was allegedly fired by his own father. The incident occurred during a domestic dispute where the intended target was reportedly the child's mother. Reign was in his mother's arms at the time he was shot.
Following the shooting, the father fled the scene, prompting a search by law enforcement.
He was later apprehended and taken into custody in connection with the death of his son. The case proceeded through the legal system, culminating in a plea deal.
The father ultimately accepted a plea agreement and received a 15-year prison sentence for his role in the fatal shooting of his infant son. This resolution brought a close to the legal proceedings in a case that cut short the life of a young child.
