A Kansas teen is dead after his mother allegedly shot him earlier this week, authorities in Wichita said.
Robert Florence, 16, succumbed to his injuries Friday, two days after his mother allegedly shot him at a Wichita apartment.
Officers responded to the scene at around 8:15 a.m. Wednesday and found the boy with a single gunshot wound.
His mother, Tesha Florence, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault. Her charges are expected to be upgraded to second-degree murder.
“This is a tragic incident that has forever altered a family,” police said.
“Gun violence impacts our entire community and cannot be tolerated,”
Tesha is being investigated in connection to an unreported March incident that saw her threatening her ex-husband and his girlfriend with a gun.
