Demarqo Smith was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct for the death of his daughter.
The father of an Atlanta girl who apparently fatally shot herself with a loaded gun in her family’s home on Saturday has been arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct, authorities said.
Atlanta police say 6-year-old Ja’Mecca Smith found a loaded gun in sofa cushions in her home early Saturday morning and shot herself in the head, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.
Ja’Mecca died at about 11 a.m. Saturday inside the home, located at 1041 Martin St.
It was initially believed her father Demarqo Smith, 25, had shot the girl but an investigation revealed the girl shot herself.
Her father had apparently fled the scene briefly but returned to speak with detectives, authorities said. At the time of the incident, there were reportedly at least four other children in the home and two adults, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.
It was reported Sunday that the girl’s father was being held at the Fulton County Jail without bond.
