A 10-month-old boy died at a hospital after being shot last week, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday.
Sheriff's deputies are searching for Jesse David Gonzalez, 31, who is wanted on a manslaughter warrant in connection with the shooting, officials said.
The baby was taken to a hospital after being wounded in what the Sheriff's Office initially described as a "probable accidental shooting" with a handgun.
The baby was identified as Axel Armin Arcos, according to an obituary listing and a Channel 26-KINT report. No memorial events are currently scheduled.
The shooting occurred about 10 p.m. June 18 in the 700 block of Ascension Street in the Agua Dulce area near Horizon City, the Sheriff's Office said.
Any relation between Gonzalez and the child has not been disclosed.
Gonzalez is 5 feet, 8 inches tall, weighs 170 pounds, and has brown eyes and brown hair. His last known address is in the 700 block of Gasport Street in the Horizon City area, sheriff's officials said.
Anyone with information on Gonzalez's location should call the Sheriff’s Office at 915-832-4408 or 911.

Thoughts? Based on local online articles, Gonzalez was still at large at least as of June 24th, 2020. And alleged accident or not, in my opinion Gonzalez is being coward by going on the run instead of defending himself and/or manning up and taking responsibility. There needs to be justice for Axel in this case.
