In July 2018 a 4-year-old boy, Justin Alan Foss Jr., was found with a gunshot wound to the head at his family’s apartment on Skinner Mill Road in Augusta, Georgia. He was taken to Augusta University Medical Center and pronounced dead about an hour after authorities were called. The shooting was reported to have occurred after the child found a loaded handgun that had been left under the couch where he had been sleeping.

Investigators arrested the child’s parents, Justin Foss Sr., then 27, and Shelby Foss, then 24. Justin Foss Sr. was initially booked on a firearms charge as a convicted felon stemming from a 2013 strong-arm robbery conviction. A grand jury later indicted both parents on second-degree murder and cruelty to children in the second degree, alleging criminal negligence in their parental duties; Justin Foss Sr. was also charged with felony murder related to the weapons possession count. Both were held in the Richmond County jail; a judge denied bond for Foss Sr., and Shelby Foss’s bond was later reduced after nearly two years in custody with conditions barring contact with her husband or other children.

Is there anyone with information about the apartment or who had access to the firearm that day?
