ADELANTO >> Sheriff’s investigators arrested an Adelanto father early Friday on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter after he accidentally shot and killed his 7-year-old son, officials said.

Julio Cervantez Sr., 40, was booked into the High Desert Detention Center around 3:30 a.m. Friday after San Bernardino County sheriff’s homicide detectives concluded he accidentally shot and killed his son, Daniel.

Adelanto deputies received a 9-1-1 call just before 5 p.m. for an accidental shooting at a home in the 18000 block of Bellflower Street.

Paramedics drove Daniel to Victor Valley Global Medical Center in Victorville, where he was later pronounced dead.
