The young suspect reportedly took a gun belonging to the girl\u2019s father, Ca\u2019marion Pawnell, aged 19, from under a mattress, after which he fired the gun. Pawnell admitted to police that the weapon was his. Another child, aged 7, was present during the shooting. The boy is charged with first-degree murder, felony murder, and endangerment of a child resulting in death, but under Missouri law, he will <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >face juvenile charges due<\/a> to his age. The girl\u2019s mother, Janyla Parker, has started a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses. The relationship between the suspect, his family, and the victim remains unclear.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A 10-year-old boy has made history in Missouri in about the worst way possible.<\/p>\n<p>He is reportedly the youngest child in the state\u2019s history to be charged with murder after the shooting death on Friday of a 7-month-old baby girl in St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>The girl\u2019s father, a 19-year-old man who owned the gun the boy used, was charged with second-degree murder.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstalert4.com\/2026\/06\/26\/7-month-old-killed-north-city-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KMOV-TV<\/a> in St. Louis, the shooting took place at about 4 p.m. Police called to the home found the wounded girl and rushed her to a hospital, with units blocking traffic and an officer in the back seat of the patrol vehicle trying to treat the girl\u2019s bleeding.<\/p>\n<p>The girl, identified as Kiyomi Parker, was pronounced dead at the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>She had been shot in the head, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksdk.com\/article\/news\/crime\/father-charged-in-7-month-old-babys-shooting-death-st-louis\/63-0192a551-6929-4d11-8bfc-0da3724c5975\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KSDK-TV<\/a> in St. Louis.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/SLMPD?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SLMPD<\/a> detectives have worked around the clock to investigate the senseless shooting of 7-month-old Kiyomi Parker.
