Baby dies after stroller struck by car fleeing Chicago shooting

CHICAGO -- A 10-month-old baby in a stroller was struck and killed Saturday by a car that had just left the scene of a shooting in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, police say.

First responders rushed the baby to Comer Children's Hospital, but the boy died a short time later.

The family was waiting on the bus to take them to the beach. Instead, they are mourning the loss of a 10-month-old baby boy, identified by relatives at Dillan Harris.

Police said the incident started as a result of a shooting at about 1:45 p.m. Saturday in the 7700 block of South Kingston.

A few minutes later, police said a vehicle containing those involved in the shooting was speeding down 62nd Street. It jumped the curb at Ellis, hitting the boy in the stroller.

Witnesses said the car continued driving through an empty lot before stopping near an alley. Those inside the car got out and tried to run away. Meanwhile, a large number of the baby's family members were at the scene desperately trying to get help.

"One of the women came down with a baby and I grabbed the baby for her and told her, 'Do what you have to do,'" said witness Erin Fletcher. "By the time we made it to the corner, they were pulling the stroller off the baby and the baby was just in fetal position with his butt up in the air. It looked like he was asleep. It was sad. The mother was in the middle of the street just devastated."

Police confirmed they have arrested two men who were in the vehicle, but it appears they might still be searching for a third person involved.
