The Orange County Sheriff’s Office stated that witnesses saw 26-year-old Labreaunne Wilson leave the Key Suites apartments along South Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando, just south of Holden Avenue, with her son and take him across to Lake Tyler at around 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday.

A moment later, she was seen returning to the building without her son Avion Barner, and then later captured on video, going back to the lake to retrieve the child, stated deputies in an arrest affidavit.

A witness says the child was limp and was carried across the woman's shoulders to the apartment, stated authorities.

 Wilson then returned again to the lake and went into the water by herself, where she was pulled out of Lake Tyler by bystanders, according to deputies.

"Deputies on scene were notified another victim, a male child ... was located inside the female’s apartment unresponsive," a statement from the Sheriff's Office said. "Deputies provided medical aid until OCFRD arrived and transported the child to Arnold Palmer Hospital where he was pronounced deceased."

The arrest affidavit stated when paramedics assisted her, she said, "I think I killed my child."

The boy was found unresponsive in the apartment. He was taken to Arnold Palmer hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
