It was not clear if the woman with Golden was the child’s mother, but Markin Barnes, a business owner who witnessed the aftermath, told local outlet First Coast News that the baby boy was bleeding and a woman was holding him.
“Now that I’m finding out the details, it’s even worse,” Barnes said. “Just the screaming, the people consoling her, you could tell it really was tragic.”
Jail records show Golden was booked into the Duval County Jail at 6:22 p.m. on Saturday.
