This is a tragedy:
A five-year-old boy high on cocaine shot his toddler brother in the head, and prosecutors have charged their parents with neglect.
Deonta Jermaine Johnson, 27, and Shatia Tiara Welch, 24, have been charged with neglect and various drug charges after cops swooped on their property.
Prosecutors say little Isiah, 16 months, died from a gunshot wound to the head and had marijuana in his blood, while his older brother, who shot him, tested positive for cocaine.
Johnson was asleep inside the apartment at the time of the shooting. Welsh, a nursing graduate, was not present during the incident, according to authorities.
Initially, Johnson told police Isiah fell or was injured by his brother and denied owning a gun.
He claimed Isiah had not been shot before admitting the children’s mother, Welch, had a gun on the property.
Welch confirmed she owned the gun but told police that she usually kept it locked in a box under her bed but had lost a second set of keys to it.
Police found a gun in the safe under a bed but also found a gun in the drawer of a dresser on the property.
Officers also found 93 fentanyl pills, marijuana and drug paraphernalia inside the apartment when they searched it after the horror.
Welch and Johnson have been charged with neglect resulting in death, two counts of neglect and neglect resulting in bodily injury.
They have also been charged with conspiracy to commit dealing a narcotic drug, dealing a narcotic drug, possession of a narcotic, conspiracy to commit dealing marijuana, dealing marijuana, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.
The children had drugs in their system.
There were drugs everywhere.
The parents were dealing.
There were unsecured guns in the house.
Obviously, if the kids could get into the drugs, they could get into the guns.
A child is dead.
You just know that Left will blame the guns and not the drug dealing reprobate parents who let their kids fund drugs and guns in the house, and they will try to punish you for it.
Im actually surprised they are being charged with any crime…
It’s Indiana, we aren’t a shithole state like IL, NY, CA, OR or WA.
Drugs are only bad if it’s “White Trash” using or dealing them. The names look… diverse, so they are not allowed to bring drugs into the equation because that would be racist.
The parents are the “wrong” color. This story will disappear.
