Six-month-old Jonylah Watkins was fatally shot over a stolen video game console, Chicago police said Monday as they announced an arrest in a slaying that has come to symbolize the city's deadly gun culture.
Authorities charged Koman Willis, 33, with killing the infant and shooting her father while they sat parked in a minivan in the Woodlawn neighborhood on March 11. A bullet entered Jonylah's right shoulder and traveled down through her left thigh. She died the following day. Her father, Jonathan Watkins, survived multiple gunshot wounds.

One would hope that the wounded father might turn from his evil ways after the death of his daughter. Perhaps find Christ and start a youth drop-in center to try to combat the gang culture.
I imagine though, once he has healed and is out of prison for the theft, he’ll be going after the snitch.

I bet he’s dead within a year, and he would deserve it.
