A devastating incident occurred in St. Louis, Missouri, where a three-year-old boy, known as T3, tragically died after falling from a high-rise apartment window. The fall happened early Friday morning, around 2:30 AM, while his father was briefly outside the apartment. The child was reportedly staying with his father as his mother was recovering in the hospital following a leg amputation due to gun violence.
According to a relative, the father had put T3 to bed before stepping out, returning to find his son missing. Responding officers discovered the boy's body outside the building. Some neighbors suggested the fall might have been from the 11th floor, with concerns raised about hallway windows lacking locks or screens. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department's Child Abuse Unit and the St. Louis Housing Authority are conducting separate investigations into the incident.
