Florida police have launched a murder investigation into the shooting death of a three-year-old boy during his birthday party. A boy named Elijah was reportedly hit by a misguided bullet in the suburbs of Miami on Saturday evening.
The toddler was taken to hospital, but died on the spot from his serious injuries. Elijah’s family told local media that their son and another child celebrated his birthday on Saturday. Accordingly, the boy should be four years old in a few days. A video of the celebration showed children playing in the pool.
