UPDATE: A shocking incident in Sulphur, Louisiana has led to the arrest of 28-year-old Kristin Bass, who is accused of fatally shooting her one-year-old daughter, Acelynn Moss, in front of her two-year-old sister and their father, Bradley Moss. The tragedy unfolded on January 1, 2026, around 8 PM, prompting immediate police response.
According to authorities, officers from the Sulphur Police Department responded to a distress call about a shooting at Bass’s home on Quelqueshue Street. Upon arrival, they discovered the horrific scene with Acelynn deceased. Reports indicate that Bradley Moss rushed into the room after hearing a gunshot, only to find Bass holding a gun and uttering chilling words: “I just sent our baby to God… Now I gotta get her.”
The incident has left the community reeling, with Bradley Moss expressing his devastation, stating, “I almost lost two babies. I lost one because her mama wanted to send her to God.” Following the arrest, the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services took custody of the surviving two-year-old girl.
Kristin Bass has been charged with one count of first-degree murder and is being held on a staggering $10 million bond at the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office. The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear, and the case is under ongoing investigation. If prosecutors pursue a capital verdict, Bass could face the death penalty, with a minimum sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted.
In a concerning twist, Bass also faces an additional charge of “Direct Contempt of Court,” the specifics of which are still emerging. This charge, while minor compared to the murder count, adds another layer of complexity to the unfolding legal saga.
Authorities emphasize the urgent need to understand the motives behind this tragic event, as the community seeks answers. The case draws parallels to a previous violent incident in the area, highlighting a growing concern over domestic violence and its tragic consequences.
