Police: Slain Chicago infant's dad belongs to gang
CHICAGO (AP) — An attack in which a 6-month-old girl was fatally shot and her father was wounded was apparently gang-related, and authorities said Tuesday that they are searching for the gunman and the driver of the getaway van.
Jonylah Watkins was shot five times during the Monday afternoon attack in the South Side neighborhood of Woodlawn. She died Tuesday morning at Comer Children's Hospital, police said.
Her father, Jonathan Watkins, was in serious but stable condition, recovering at Northwestern Memorial Hospital from wounds to his side, buttocks and face, which was only grazed, police said.
