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.
On Monday, Assistant Police Chief Christopher Gaiters said the department had received a 911 call around 12:45 p.m. saying that the boy had been shot.
“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.
“How did he even get a hold of a gun to shoot himself how,” Williams questioned. “It shouldn’t have been there. “I don’t allow guns in my household.”
