The county medical examiner’s office says emergency medics rushed 5-month-old Aavielle Wakefield to a children’s hospital, where she died after the shooting Thursday.
According to 911 calls obtained by ABC15’s sister station, WEWS-TV, a woman claimed, “someone was shooting at our auto and they shot the baby”.
“This should not be happening in our city”, Williams said, as he attempted to hold back tears and keep his emotions in check.
“We want bodies in jail tonight for this crime”, he said.
