Missing 2-year-old Florida boy found dead in alligator's mouth

[Eldorado]

Taylen Mosley's body was found in the mouth of an alligator in a recreation area, St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway said in a Friday evening news conference.

Detectives had been searching the area around Dell Holmes Park Friday afternoon when they "spotted an alligator with an object in its mouth," Holloway said.

"As the detectives got closer they fired one round to the alligator," Mosley said. "The alligator dropped the object that he had in his mouth and we were able to retrieve Taylen's body intact."

The boy's father, 21-year-old Thomas Mosley, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 20-year-old Pashun Jeffery and their son Taylen Mosley, Holloway said.
