Mother Arrested on Manslaughter Charge in 5-Year-Old’s Shooting Death in Florida City

Investigators said she failed to secure the firearm and showed indifference to her children, leading to charges of aggravated manslaughter and culpable negligence.

  • Florida City Police arrested Ashley Marie Hosendove, 32, on Wednesday and charged her with aggravated manslaughter and culpable negligence in the June 10 shooting death of her 5-year-old daughter, Ja'nova Parks.
  • Authorities allege Hosendove neglected to secure a firearm at their Northwest First Court home, though she told police the child's 4-year-old brother pulled the trigger.
  • Responding officers found Ja'nova 'wrapped in a white blanket soaked in blood' and transported her to Homestead Baptist Hospital, where she died at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital after airlifting.
  • After being booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Wednesday, Hosendove was released Thursday; attorney Chad Piotrowski called the incident a 'gut-wrenching tragedy.'
  • Piotrowski said his firm 'moved quickly' to secure Hosendove's release and plans to address 'real legal issues' in court, while investigators recovered 'items of evidential value, including a firearm' from the home.
