Toddler sleeping in grandmother’s bed killed after her gun went off under the pillow

Louisiana – A New Orleans security guard has been charged in the killing of her three-year-old grandson, who was fatally shot when the gun under her pillow went off while they slept.

According to police, the bullet struck the toddler in the chest at around 2.10am Wednesday at a residence in the 5600 block of Red Maple Drive. The child died at a nearby hospital a short time later.

The victim’s grandmother, 42-year-old Deonca Kennedy, was arrested just hours later on charges of negligent homicide, second-degree cruelty to a juvenile and child desertion.

Court records cited by Nola.com indicate that Kennedy’s only other arrest occurred in 2005, when she was charged with public intimidation and solicitation of murder. More
