A 36-year-old woman was arrested for shooting her 11-month-old son dead. The crime occurred after she fled with the child to another state, apparently to prevent the father from gaining custody of the boy.

The mother was detained by authorities after the crime. Police are investigating the exact circumstances of the case, including the reasons that led her to take her own son's life to prevent the father from getting custody.

The case caused outrage and raises questions about custody disputes between parents. Authorities continue investigating the details of the crime to fully clarify what happened.
