A family shooting in Sulphur, Louisiana, left one-year-old Acelynn Moss dead on New Year’s Day. Officers were called to a home on Quelqueshue Street on the evening of January 1, 2026, and found Acelynn with a fatal gunshot wound. Her mother, 28-year-old Kristin Bass, was taken into custody at the scene and later charged with first-degree murder; she was booked into the Calcasieu Parish Jail with bond set at $10 million.

According to the father, Bradley Moss, he heard a loud noise, then ran into a room where he found Acelynn shot and Bass allegedly holding a gun. A two-year-old sibling was also present; Bass allegedly told Bradley she shot Acelynn to send her to God and suggested she might harm the older child. The surviving toddler was placed in custody of the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services and the case remains under investigation.

Did anyone in Sulphur know the family or see activity at the Quelqueshue Street residence that evening?
