A baby girl was killed in Ohio when a drive-by gunman shot up her dad’s car, according to police.
Desire Hughes, who was just 7 months old, was in the back seat of her dad’s car waiting at a red light late Wednesday when someone leaned out of a passing car and fired a volley of shots, Toledo police said.
Dad Jeremiah Hughes — who was also grazed by one of the bullets — sped off to a hospital, where his daughter was pronounced dead, he told The Toledo Blade after being treated for his own wounds.
The autopsy showed the baby had been hit in the chest, the paper noted.
“My baby … they really took that girl from me,” 20-year-old Hughes told the paper.
“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.”
