Toddler shot by another child; Raleigh father charged

15 sourcesUpdated Sep 4, 2026

Utah authorities say Afuhia Masiu Manatau appeared in court charged with first-degree murder and multiple firearm-related counts after allegedly giving his teenage son the gun used in a fatal Aug. 17 shooting outside a Kearns church; a next hearing is set for Sept. 11. The incident left the 17-year-old victim dead and involved complex firearm charges including murder, felony discharge of a weapon, assault, and obstruction of justice. In Raleigh, North Carolina, police say a 23‑month‑old was shot when two young children accessed an unsecured gun inside a home; the injured child was treated and released, and the father, Jacquan Corbett, 30, faces multiple charges related to the shooting while Child Protective Services has been notified. Authorities emphasize the risk of unsecured firearms in homes with small children and urge secure storage, with free gun locks available at Raleigh district stations. The cases highlight ongoing concerns about firearm safety and accountability for adults in charge of weapon access.
