Kwana Shaw’s family says someone threatened Kwana and baby Josiah Shaw before the carjacking and shooting that killed 13-month-old baby Josiah Shaw and left Kwana critically injured with a gunshot to her lung, reports the Chicago Tribune.

Family members say the shooting wasn’t a random carjacking.

Reports Steve Schmadeke in the Chicago Tribune:

The family of an infant fatally shot in Gary Monday night while strapped into the back of his mother’s car said they believe his death stemmed from a personal dispute, not a carjacking as police have theorized. …

Samuel Shaw said his daughter moved in with him after someone threatened to kill her and the baby.

Josiah Shaw was a “miracle baby” who was born without a heartbeat but had since thrived, his grandfather said. His name came from the Bible, and the boy liked to listen to his grandfather read from Scripture. His mother, the younger of two children, is a “really sweet person” planning to become a teacher in the Gary school district, Shaw said.
