17-Month Old Baby Loses Eye In Random Shooting

Damark King, 19, has been charged with the first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and weapons possession. He is being held without bond after smirking at Samyah’s family throughout his arraignment.
“Eye for an eye!” they shouted to the ex-convict who is on parole for a robbery he committed in 2007. “How you smirking, you just shot a 17 month-old baby!” Other family members screamed that King should receive the death penalty.
