The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said a 1-year-old girl was shot and killed in Compton on Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016.

"If you have guns in the house, please put them in a safe," Taylor says. "Put them in lock boxes and put them where children can't get them, and be playing with them, because this is what happened. If you don't that, this is the end result."

Now, Taylor says, they have to bury their loved one.

"He didn't even have a chance to get started in life," Taylor says.
