The father of slain Baby Josiah Shaw who was arrested and named a “person of interest” by police — won’t be charged, say police to the media. The father had been arrested on a warrant by Portage police and Gary SWAT for another unrelated matter.
Reports Christine Kraly in the Northwest Indiana Times:
The father of a 13-month-old boy shot to death Monday is expected to be released from custody Thursday after being held as a person of interest in the case, Gary police said.
Terry L. Bethel, 34, of Portage, was arrested in Portage on an unrelated warrant Tuesday and has been in the custody of Porter County authorities since. Bethel will not face any charges related to the shooting death of Josiah Shaw, said Gary police Cmdr. Samuel Roberts.
Meanwhile, the Post-Tribune’s Lori Caldwell details the dramatic 9-1-1 call that was made to police reporting the carjacking that wounded Baby Josiah’s mother and killed Josiah Shaw.
“Somebody just stole my best friend’s truck with her baby in it and I think he shot her,” Kwana Shaw’s friend told a Gary police dispatcher Monday night. “Please hurry up.”
