Milwaukee man sentenced to 10 years in prison for death of 3-year-old
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee man charged in the death of 3-year-old A'kai Stilo was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison.
Twenty-nine-year-old Raheem Moore was convicted of neglecting a child with the consequence of death and possessing a firearm as a felon.
Police say the 3-year-old accidentally shot and killed himself after getting ahold of a firearm near 20th and Highland the morning of July 1, 2022.
A criminal complaint says the child lived at the home with his mother and his mother's boyfriend, identified as Moore.
Police say Moore was asleep on the couch when the toddler found the gun, which was left unattended in the living room.
The complaint says the gun belonged to Moore, who left the scene after the incident while the boy's mother called for help.
Moore will serve 10 years followed by 10 years of extended supervision.
Records show he was sentenced to 20 years behind bars for second degree reckless homicide back in 2012 and was released in 2019 on extended supervision.
