A 7-year-old boy died crossing the street. His parents are being charged.
Parents in North Carolina were arrested after allegedly leaving their 7-year-old son unsupervised when he was fatally struck by a car while trying to cross the street, police said. Gastonia police said on May 29 that Jessica Ivey and Samuele Jenkins have been charged with felony involuntary manslaughter, felony child neglect, and misdemeanor child neglect. The incident involving the parents' young son occurred around 5:55 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27, according to the department. Officers responded to the scene after receiving a report about a traffic collision, and upon their arrival, they found that a Jeep Cherokee had hit the 7-year-old boy, police said. The 76-year-old driver of the vehicle was traveling east when she struck the child, the department added. The police's preliminary investigation determined that the child was attempting to cross the street outside of a crosswalk with another young boy, age 10, when he entered the roadway and was hit, the department said. The boy was taken to a medical center with life-threatening injuries and later transferred to Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead around 10:00 p.m., according to police. More news: A mom has been charged with her son's death. She says God told her to 'exorcise demons'. As Gastonia police offered "its deepest sympathies to the family for the heartbreaking loss of their child," the department said its investigation revealed that the boy was unsupervised at the time he stepped into traffic. "In such cases, adults must be held accountable for their responsibilities to ensure a safe environment for their children," police said. No charges have been filed against the driver of the Jeep Cherokee after no evidence of speeding or wrongdoing on her part was found, police said, adding that the woman continues to be cooperative. The incident remains under active investigation, according to the department. Both Ivey and Jenkins remain in the custody of the Gaston County Jail with $1.5 million bonds, according to inmate records. Anyone who witnessed the deadly crash or may have relevant information can contact Corporal Carpenter with the Gastonia Police Department at 704-866-6702.

‘Lock it down:' Dashcam footage gives look into major North Myrtle Beach police response on night of accidental shooting
NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — By the time North Myrtle Beach police arrived at the Harbourgate Marina Club on the night of May 25 for reports of an officer shot, tensions were already running high. Just a few minutes earlier, a mass shooting broke out in nearby Little River, and it was impossible to know in real time whether the two incidents were connected. More than six hours of dashcam video obtained by News13 through a Freedom of Information Act request shine a light on how those chaotic several hours in North Myrtle Beach played out. Ultimately, authorities would determine that the officer — whose name still has not been released — accidently shot himself in the leg twice from his own rifle. An incident report also provided to News13 says that at the time of the gun went off, the officer 'had both of his hands on the gate, which was confirmed by later video evidence.' Body camera and witness footage showing that moment has not yet been made public. News13 has requested both from the department but have yet to hear back. North Myrtle Beach police say officer accidentally shot himself in leg during Little River shooting response While the dashcam footage portrays a chaotic response, it's often unclear whether radio communications refer to the officer's shooting or the incident on the party boat on Watson Avenue near Harbourgate Marina. Just before 9:45 p.m., an officer is heard on a police radio giving orders as he and others rush to the marina. 'When you come to the scene, lock it down.' 'Let's get somebody on the swing bridge, too.' 'Make sure we lock down all egresses to Cherry Grove, too.' Minutes later, the officer makes a request. 'Give us some info. Give us a description or something.' 'All we know is shots fired, and he got shot in the leg,' another officer says. Officials then decided to use a Hampton Inn parking lot as a command post while law enforcement built up their presence. By 9:46 p.m., a thermal drone was put into the air, searching around the bridge and nearby parking lots. 'Until we figure out what's going on, everybody stay still,' an officer said. An ambulance arrived at nearly the same time; so did a South Carolina Law Enforcement tactical team. 'All units, watch for crossfire. We're getting ready for SLED's [tactical] team right now. Hold your posts, keep it friendly,' an officer says. It's now 10:40 p.m., and officers are seen with rifles drawn, taking cover behind a vehicle. Possible movement had been detected inside a houseboat, and authorities aren't taking any chances. Dashcam footage shows a ballistic shield being draped across the front of a South Carolina Highway Patrol cruiser before a trooper gives commands. 'Occupants of the houseboat, the blue-and-white houseboat, this is the state police,' he says. 'Come outside with your hands up. Come outside with your hands up. Do it now. We are not going away.' On the left side of the screen, a flash of light can be seen in the air — a telltale signature of the thermal drone that had been previously deployed. A few minutes before 11 p.m., an officer radios with a situational update. 'Right now, we are flying a drone into the target's location that's a houseboat. We also are doing extract. About eight boats down, there's a female that's on the vessel, and they've extracted her and moved her out', the officer says. 'If the drone sees nothing on that boat, we're going to clear that boat with a team and a K9, and then we're going to use assets there to go boat-by-boat and clear every single boat in that marina. We have a perimeter set up,' he continues. A city police report said the scene was eventually handed over to SLED. In the hours of footage News13 obtained, it does not include the moment officials learned the officer shot himself and stood down. * * * Adam Benson joined the News13 digital team in January 2024.
