FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - A man who pleaded guilty to neglect in the death of his son was sentenced Monday.

A judge in Allen Superior Court handed Travell Daniels 20 years in prison.

The 30-year-old man was held responsible for the January 2024 death of his toddler, Dailoni Edward Hollis Daniels. According to Daniels' account of the shooting, the child somehow got a hold of a Glock that Daniels kept under a pillow and accidentally shot himself.

The coroner ruled the boy's death a homicide.

Daniels was out of jail on bond as his case wound through the legal system, but has since been booked into the Allen County Jail.
