ATLANTA — A woman was arrested and faces a second degree murder charge in the shooting death of a 2-year-old earlier this year in Atlanta's Sweet Auburn neighborhood.

The incident happened April 13 at an apartment on Bell Street. A 2-year-old died after being shot inside the apartment unit.

Atlanta Police said this week they arrested 36-year-old Cynkeythia Robinsin on the case. In addition to the second degree murder charge, she faces a second degree cruelty to children charge.

Police did not detail her alleged role in the shooting.

Back in April, APD officers responded to Hugh Spalding Hospital after receiving a call about a child being shot. Officers found the toddler already being treated by hospital staff. Despite lifesaving efforts, the child did not survive.
