Mia Andujar, 7, was shot in the face Sunday afternoon at a home in the 3800 block of I Street.

Police believe Mia and a 2-year-old were alone in a second-floor bedroom with an unsecured gun.

Investigators had originally said a second adult in the home would also face charges, but so far Nguyen is the only person charged.

According to police, the investigation into this fatal shooting continues.
