The father of a boy who accidentally and fatally shot himself in the face in Montgomery Village, Maryland, has been indicted on charges that include involuntary manslaughter and child neglect, prosecutors announced Thursday.

The Montgomery County grand jury’s indictment of Lascelle Lee, 32, stems from the accidental shooting that happened Feb. 17 in a home on Maple Leaf Drive.

According to prosecutors, Lee left a loaded and unsecured firearm in a place where he knew his son, a 6-year-old boy, would have access to it.

The child got a hold of the gun and shot himself in the face, which killed him instantly.

Lee was indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter, neglect of a minor, reckless endangerment and a minor’s access to a firearm. Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Bradford McCullough ordered Lee released pending trial after a hearing Wednesday.

A court hearing is set for April 24 to select trial dates.
