A 2-year-old boy is allegedly responsible for his father’s murder. According to reports by AL.com, Divine Chambliss, 31, was watching his 2-year-old son at an apartment in Hoover, Alabama while the child’s mother was at work.

Chambliss apparently took an afternoon nap when his 2-year-old son began wandering around the apartment. At some point, the child found a semi-automatic handgun and approached his father and pulled the trigger.


The child’s mother returned home from work and found Chambliss lying dead with a single gunshot wound to his head. Chambliss and the boy were the only two in the apartment and there wasn’t a sign of forced entry. The toddler reportedly told his mother that he hurt his father.

Chambliss once attended Miles College and was an usher at his church and the owner of a landscaping business. He leaves behind six sons, one daughter, and two step daughters.
