BILOXI, Miss. - A baby boy taken by his father from the scene of a double homicide in Louisiana died at a hospital on Tuesday, hours after the man was killed by Mississippi law enforcement officers who fired a barrage of bullets at the car, authorities said.
The coroner in Harrison County, Mississippi, Brian Switzer, said that the baby, who was born in January, died about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday at USA Childrenâs and Womenâs Hospital in Mobile, Alabama. Switzer said an autopsy will be done to determine the cause.
The injured baby was hospitalized after officers ended the chase by firing at the car driven by Eric Derell Smith, who died of multiple gunshot wounds Monday after he finally came to a stop in the median of Interstate 10.
