A baby girl was killed in Ohio when a drive-by gunman shot up her dad’s car, according to police.
Dad Jeremiah Hughes — who was also grazed by one of the bullets — sped off to a hospital, where his daughter was pronounced dead, heThe autopsy showed the baby had been hit in the chest, the paper noted.“I was a happy dad, you feelin’ me? She was gonna change my life, man,” he said. “That was the one that was gonna change my life. That’s why I’m so sick, I don’t even know what to do.
Hughes told the paper that he had no idea why his car was shot up, and that he was helping police ID the shooter. Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said that his chats with the police chief and gang taskforce officials made it clear it was just the latest “heartbreaking” result of drug- or gang-related violence.“It’s unfair to the 275,000 who live in the city to feel less safe than they should have because of the 50 people in a gang who are playing out a revenge drama that affects all of us.”“It doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking but it does affect how we address the problem,” he said.
