PHOENIX, ARIZONA - An Arizona father faces felony charges after his nine-year-old son shot his five-year-old daughter with a firearm he stored in the boy's bedroom.
Maricopa County Police announced on Wednesday that Irvin Ramos-Jimenez, 33, had been indicted on one count of child abuse, a class three dangerous felony, and a domestic violence offense.
He also faces felony charges for misconduct involving weapons and unlawful possession of a firearm.
A jury in Phoenix indicted him on one count of child abuse in August.
Ramos-Jimenez had stored his AR-style rifle on a high-up shelf in his nine-year-old son's bedroom closet.
The boy easily found the weapon and accidentally shot his little sister, Layla Ramos, in the torso on the night of June 3.
At first, the girl was taken to a psychiatric hospital where the family sought medical help.
She was then transferred to a trauma hospital and was pronounced dead there.
