In April 2025 a two-year-old boy named Jayce Davis was brought to Children’s Hughes Spalding Hospital in southeast Atlanta with a gunshot wound and later died. The parents initially told investigators a gun stored in a bag accidentally discharged when the bag fell; the father said he heard a noise he thought was a falling book and the mother, Cynkeythia Robinson, found Jayce bleeding in the bedroom where he had been sleeping alone.

The autopsy and scene examination produced findings inconsistent with an accidental discharge from a bag on the floor. The bullet entered Jayce’s mouth and traveled upward, exiting the back of his head, and investigators found that a floor-level discharge would have struck the mattress. Those discrepancies prompted investigators to question the parents’ account.

By August 2025 authorities charged 36-year-old Cynkeythia Robinson with second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to children, alleging the child’s death resulted from a firearm that was not properly secured and was accessible to the toddler. Does anyone have information about Jayce’s last hours or about firearm storage at that apartment?
