Police: Mom who blamed toddler’s death on road rage arrested

DALLAS (AP) — Police say a Texas woman who said her 3-year-old son was killed in a road-rage shooting has been arrested on a child endangerment charge. Dallas police said Thursday that 26-year-old Lacravivonne Washington kept a handgun in her SUV where it was accessible to her unrestrained young children. She told police when she brought her fatally wounded son Jalexus to a hospital Monday that the child was wounded in a road-rage shooting. An affidavit said police found no evidence of a road rage shooting but did find a gun in Washington’s glove compartment. An autopsy revealed that the child was shot at very close range.
