Gary carjacking may have actually been personal dispute

The family of a mother and her 13-month-old baby that were shot in an apparent carjacking in Gary, Indiana — the mother is on life support, and the baby was killed — are saying that it was not a random carjacking at all, but rather stemmed from a personal dispute:

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.

Gary police on Wednesday released two 911 calls, one from Kwana Shaw’s best friend.

“Somebody just stole my best friend’s truck with her baby in it. I think he shot her,” the friend told the 911 dispatcher. “Oh my god, her baby’s in the car,” the friend said. “Please hurry up.”
