St. Petersburg, Florida, police arrested a man on Sunday after he allegedly shot his 2-year-old son during an argument at his parent’s home earlier that night, according to reports.
FOX 13 in Tampa reported that officers with the St. Petersburg Police Department responded to a home on 15th Avenue South at about 8:10 p.m. on Sunday.
When officers arrived, they learned 22-year-old Aaron Creary and his parents got into an argument that led him to brandishing a gun, which fired and struck his 2-year-old son, Armani.
Creary attempted to drive Armani to the hospital, police said, but along the way he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a parked vehicle in front of a closed building on 34th Street South and 15th Avenue South.
After the crash, the child was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Armani turned 2-years-old in April.
Creary has been charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child and violation of probation.
Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office jail records show Creary was booked in the county jail and held on $750,000 bond.
