An Indianapolis man has been sentenced in a deadly July 2023 accidental shooting of a 4-year-old girl at a Cumberland apartment.
Terrelle Jackson was sentenced to seven years in prison, plus two years home detention for neglect of a dependent resulting in serious injury. This was part of a plea agreement that dismissed neglect resulting in death.
Around 4:30 p.m. July 5, 2023, Cumberland Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to an apartment complex in the 600 block of Woodlark Drive, near East Washington Street and North German Church Road, for a report of a possible child shot.
Officers located 4-year-old Deor Neita with a gunshot wound to the head. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
