Two-year-old Finds Loaded Gun and Kills Himself

Jaiangelis Stevenson, a 2-year-old in Las Vegas, Nevada, found a loaded gun at home and shot and killed himself. According to his aunt, Jaiangelis was being watched by a family member while his mom was at work. The family called him “Blu” because he had big blue eyes.

A GoFundMe page set up by his aunt says, “[o]ur precious baby was a ball of light in all of our lives. If you were sad, just looking at his face would bring you a sense of calm. He was loving and calm and peace.”
