A 2-year-old New York boy who was shot inside a home has died of his injuries, and his father is charged with gun crimes.
Officials at Strong Memorial Hospital say Zayden Phillips, of Rochester, died yesterday from a gunshot wound to the head.
After the shooting, authorities charged 36-year-old Charles Timothy Phillips with assault and criminal possession of a weapon. He pleaded not guilty on Saturday and is jailed without bail.
Police have recovered a 9mm handgun. They haven't said how the shooting occurred on Friday. Police say no one else was in the home at the time.
Authorities say Phillips had served prison time for a robbery conviction and was released in April 2016. As a convicted felon, Phillips is prohibited from owning a gun.
