Petty motive revealed in horrific, caught-on-camera shooting of Philly baby
|
 [NYPOST] The horrid, caught-on-camera shooting of a 7-month-old baby in Philadelphia was sparked by a mere $100 drug debt, according to cops.
Dominique Billips, 28, was arrested a day after footage showed a woman opening fire on the infant and his parents outside a home, shouting, "F—k your baby, bitch!" as the teen mom screamed in horror.
"Sometimes the things we see are mind-boggling," Lt. Dennis Rosenbaum told a presser, according to USA Today.
"You knew they had a stroller, what makes you walk up to someone with a stroller and shoot them?" Rosenbaum asked of the "very disturbing" attack.
When cops arrived to investigate reports of the shooting Thursday, the victims had already left.
They only realized a baby had been shot in the leg when the family turned up at a local hospital — and then told officers that the shocking violence stemmed from a $100 "narcotics debt," the police spokesperson said.
"The mother and father... left the location because of fear from police because of outstanding warrants," Rosenbaum said.
Suspect, a heavy-set black female with long dreadlocks, running from the scene after shooting a seven-month-old baby in the leg.
The baby’s father is thought to have been the gunwoman’s target — and the mother and baby "just got wrapped up into it," Rosenbaum said.
A person standing next to a cycle of violence on Meridian Street, site of a scene of the crime where a seven-month-old was shot.
"You see in that video, she really points the gun at the mother of the baby, who’s also a juvenile, and fires. Luckily, she missed," Rosenbaum said.
"A 7-month-old baby isn’t going to remember that, but it’s always going to be out there. That story’s always going to be out there," Rosenbaum said of the baby, who has since been discharged from the hospital.
The attacker shot the baby in the leg in northeast Philly.
