Another person on the video call dialled emergency services after seeing the toddler in the background and hearing a noise, Altamonte Springs police said in a news release on Thursday.

The woman, identified as 21-year-old Shamaya Lynn, fell backward and never returned to the video call, the person reported.

“Officers and paramedics did their best in rendering aid to Mrs Lynn, but she was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head,” police said.

An adult in the apartment had left the firearm unsecured, police said.
