The handgun was found in the seat carrier underneath the child.
His father, 29-year-old Forte Nicholas, along with 38-year-old Kyonnie Hodge and 23-year-old Aaron Bradford were also arrested. All three face charges of child endangerment and discharging a firearm in city limits, among other charges.
