A Little Rock man is charged with manslaughter after an accidental shooting that killed a 4-year-old boy.

Rico Reed, 27, is being held at the Pulaski County Jail. He's also accused of endangering the welfare of a minor and tampering with evidence.

Officers say they found the 4-year-old with a gunshot wound to the head at the Westbridge Apartments off of John Barrow Road around noon yesterday.

He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Detectives say it appears the boy accidentally shot himself, but after searching his family's apartment, they found evidence had been moved from the scene, and that's when Reed was arrested.
