MINNEAPOLIS — A heartbroken mother replays a short video of her son saying ‘hi’ before telling her he loves her.

Those three words are all Charlotte Williams wishes she could hear again from her baby, 3-year-old Jajuan Robinson better know as Junior.

“I left my baby with somebody I thought I trusted,” Williams said holding back tears.  “Somebody he was supposed to be safe with.”

Williams said she was at work and her son was home with a babysitter when saw an article on Facebook about a boy that had been shot at her apartment complex.

Then, a phone call from her babysitter telling her Junior shot himself after getting his hands on a gun. He was rushed to the hospital where he died.
