A six-year-old Texas Boy was shot and killed by police during a shooting when a woman attempted to break into the home.
The woman, identified as 30-year-old Amanda Lene Jones, was attempting to break into the house where the little boy was in when the shooting happened. Kameron Prescott was hit in the abdomen by a deputies’ bullet and was announced dead upon the arrival at a nearby hospital.
According to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, the woman had no connection to the child or the family themselves. The suspect was shot and killed at the scene.
Kameron’s uncle, Christopher Gonzales, said he is “angry and saddened” about the sudden death of his little nephew.
“We all put our hands on him and prayed on him, stuff like that. We are that kind of family” his uncle said to San Antonio Kens5 Eyewitness News.
Gonzales said that Kameron wasn’t usually at the house but had been let out early from school to Christmas break and went to visit his dad.
“He was saying to his grandpa that he didn’t want to be there,” he said. “All day, he was saying he didn’t have a good feeling. He was telling his dad he wanted to call his mom and didn’t want to be there. He just kind of knew it wasn’t going to be a good day.”
Gonzales said that he just wants the answers to all of this.
“If it is the police, we hope that you hold your people accountable,” he said. “I am sorry that it comes to this, but y’all are people just like us at the end of the day. Y’all deserve to be held accountable. It is a Constitutional right. Y’all just killed a little boy, if it was y’all. There’s no weapon, so it wasn’t that lady.”
This “tragic accident“, as it’s called by Sheriff Salazar, lead to the four deputies who were involved in the shooting to have an “administrative leave.”
