Former ‘AGT’ Contestant Charged With Murder in Connection to 4-Year-Old Nephew’s Drowning Death
- Former America's Got Talent contestant Deshundre Vinson was arrested on Wednesday in Tennessee, facing first-degree murder and three counts of aggravated child abuse following an August 16 drowning death in Chattanooga.
- Investigators allege Vinson was responsible for supervising the children that day and allowed them to walk approximately 0.2 miles to the pool without adult supervision, despite signs requiring adult presence for those under 14.
- Surveillance footage shows the boy slipping into deep water and remaining submerged for about nine minutes before someone noticed him; Chattanooga Police officers responding to an unrelated call found civilians performing CPR on the unconscious child.
- The child died after five days in the pediatric intensive care unit; Vinson remains in custody on a $750,000 bond with his next court appearance scheduled for Tuesday, September 8.
- Investigators obtained messages where Vinson allegedly acknowledged his delayed response to the drowning, though he has not been convicted and the charges remain allegations as the case proceeds through court.
