CHICAGO — A 5-month-old baby was killed while sitting in a car in Chicago during a violent weekend in which at least 20 people were shot in the city, according to police.
The infant girl was by far the youngest of four people fatally shot in separate incidents in Chicago since Friday, police said.The baby was identified as Cecilia Thomas by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, which determined she died from a gunshot wound to the head.
"That's a five-month-old baby. Nine months she carried that baby, nourished that baby. And it takes a damn fool to discharge that weapon and take a baby's life," Holmes said. Investigators were combing through video from surveillance cameras in the area in hopes of finding footage of the episode that could help them identify those responsible, officials said.
