Ramos was found guilty by a jury on Monday of negligent storage of a firearm.

The jury, however, found Ramos not guilty of child abuse and endangerment.

Ramos will be sentenced in November.

Fresno police say the little boy was alone when he shot himself with the unsecured Sig Sauer semi-automatic pistol, and officers couldn't save the boy.
