A verbal argument turned violent on Sunday morning, landing a 10-month-old baby in the hospital. Keylianis Isaac told CBS3 that her infant daughter was shot in the hand during a heated spat between her mother and new stepfather, who had married the day before. Though nobody has been arrested, Isaac maintains that it was her stepfather who fired. Philadelphia police would only confirm that the family knows the shooter, and that the assailant fired four shots before fleeing. “I just want justice for my baby girl,” Isaac said. “I need them to find him because I feel as though if they don’t, something else will happen.” Isaac says her daughter needs stitches and a metal plate in her hand.
This is 10-month-old Jaelianis who was shot in her left hand this morning in Kensington. The baby’s mom tells me she got into an argument with her stepdad this morning when four shots were fired. Jaelianis is stable and expected to be ok. @CBSPhilly pic.twitter.com/1hxPdvQaOI
