Murder

In this March 12, 2013 file photo, a makeshift memorial is seen in Chicago at the site where 6-month-old girl Jonylah Watkins, and her father, a known gang member, were shot Monday, March 11. Chicago Police Superintendent Gary McCarthy said Monday, March 18, 2013, that Jonylah Watkins was sitting in Jonathon Watkins’ lap in the driver’s seat of a minivan when the shooter approached the vehicle and fired. That’s a change from previous reports that Watkins was changing the baby's diaper at the time. McCarthy also says the baby was shot once, not several times as previously reported. (AP Photo/M.
