Parents Charged After Their Five-Year Old, Who Had Cocaine In His System, Shot Their 16-Month-Old Baby
The prosecutors have filed neglect and drug charges against the parents – Deonta Jermaine Johnson, 27, and Shatia Tiara Welch, 24. How they let their 16-month-old boy inhale weed, is one thing. But how they neglected to stop their toddler son from ingesting cocaine, and then fatally shooting his baby brother with a handgun found in their apartment is beyond words.Now the unnamed brother will have to live his life knowing that he shot his baby brother Isiah in the head and killed him.
The father claimed to have been napping on the couch at the time, with Shatia not present, saying he “heard a boom” before he found the 16-month-old boy dead, according to a probable cause affidavit. Police also found 93 fentanyl pills as well as marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the couple’s drug den apartment following the deadly shooting.Shatia told police she owns the gun, but she usually kept it locked in a box under her bed.
Four weeks before the deadly shooting, she was brought up on charges of possessing and dealing narcotics and marijuana, which is illegal for both medical and recreational purposes in Indiana, according to court records.
