Keiara Bickett has agreed to plead guilty to reckless homicide and neglect in connection with the June 2025 shooting death of her son, Javarius.
Investigators say Bickett was driving near East 46th Street and Keystone Avenue when the gun inside her purse was fired.
As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors will dismiss the charge of neglect of a dependent resulting in death.
Bickett is scheduled to enter her plea in September, and a judge will decide her sentence.
