Arrest warrants obtained on Wednesday provide new insights into the April death of 2-year-old Jayce Davis, who was fatally shot in his Atlanta apartment. His mother, Cynkeythia Robinson, 36, has been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to children after police determined that her firearm was not properly secured and found evidence contradicting the parents' account of the incident. An autopsy revealed that the bullet entered Jayce's mouth and exited at an upward angle, indicating the gun was likely fired from close range, leading authorities to conclude that Robinson's negligence contributed to the tragedy.
