A man already facing charges after a 2-year-old boy was shot and killed with his gun is now accused of trying to destroy evidence.
Federal prosecutors in Michigan say the man left his loaded pistol in his car at a gas station in Lansing on October 24, 2023. After he got out of the car, surveillance footage shows a bullet hole appearing in the car's window, according to prosecutors' press release.
