Family members have confirmed that the boy brought to life prematurely after his mother, Candice Rochelle Bobb, was fatally shot in a car in Jamestown last month has died in hospital. Bobb was shot to death while sitting in a vehicle on John Garland Boulevard, near Jamestown Crescent, at around 11 p.m. on May 15.
According to the police, Bobb was accompanied by three others as they were returning home from a basketball game but stopped to drop off a passenger when someone approached in another vehicle and opened fire. Unfortunately, the pregnant mother was the only one injured in the shooting and could not survive the injuries. Bobb was pronounced dead at the hospital but her son, estimated to have been about 20 weeks old, was delivered via emergency C-section and was then transferred to Sunnybrook Hospital where he remained in stable condition for several weeks.
However, a statement released by Toronto police on Sunday evening has revealed that the baby’s family said that he passed away shortly after 7 p.m. this evening. Toronto police spokesperson, Const. Craig Brister, mentioned that homicide investigators and crown attorneys will be deciding in the following days how the baby’s death will change the investigation. He said that “the investigation has been ongoing all along,” adding that “I imagine what’s going to happen this week is that homicide investigators are probably going to be working on this part of today and tomorrow and meeting with the crown to discuss whether or not this will become a double homicide and how the investigation will proceed from there.”
