A 2-year-old boy died after accidentally shooting himself while his parents were shopping for fireworks in a car park.

Tragic news struck the community of Douglas, Georgia as two-year-old Nakyzi Odums passed away just three days after a devastating accident. It was a typical afternoon before the Fourth of July when Nakyzi's parents decided to stop by Walmart to purchase some fireworks. They left their little boy alone in the car, not knowing that this would be their last moments together.

According to witnesses, a gunshot was heard and Nakyzi's parents quickly rushed back to their vehicle. To their shock and horror, they found their precious son with a gunshot wound to the chest. Without hesitation, they rushed him to the nearest hospital in Douglas, Georgia and then transferred him to a trauma center in another state.

The Douglas Police Department shared the heartbreaking news on their Facebook page, expressing their regrets and offering their condolences to the family. They also mentioned that an investigation is ongoing to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident. In this difficult time, the community's thoughts and prayers are with the grieving family.

A GoFundMe page was created by a family member to help with the burial expenses. The page shared that Nakyzi was a beautiful and loving child, the light of his parents' lives. His grandmother also expressed her love for her grandson, describing him as a bright and unconditional source of joy.

As of Monday evening, the page had raised over $1,600 to support Nakyzi's parents in their time of need. It's a small gesture, but it shows the love and support of the community for this family.

This is not the first time a tragedy like this has occurred. In 2020, another two-year-old boy in Indiana accidentally shot himself while his mother was tending to his baby sister in another room. It serves as a reminder to all gun owners to ensure that weapons are securely stored, especially when children are present.

At this time, it is unclear if Nakyzi's parents will face any charges in connection with the fatal shooting. The Douglas Police Chief emphasized the importance of securing firearms when children are involved, but did not mention any arrests.

The loss of such a young and innocent life is devastating, and the community of Douglas, Georgia is mourning with Nakyzi's family. May he rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in the memories and love they shared with their precious little boy.
