An identity theft case allegedly designed to avoid a DNA paternity test may be a motive in the Baby Josiah Shaw shooting in Gary during a carjacking earlier this week.

The Post-Tribune’s Lori Caldwell reports:

A complicated identity theft scheme involving the “person of interest” held in Monday’s shooting death of 13-month-old Josiah Shaw may provide detectives with a motive.

Indiana State Police began an investigation in early 2007 after a Gary man attempted to obtain a driver’s license using Terry Noel’s identification, including a birth certificate and bank card.

The man told State Police detectives Noel, also known as Terry Bethel, wanted to avoid a DNA test that would link him to a child born out of wedlock, sources said.
