A one-year-old boy has died after succumbing to injuries sustained last week when his father allegedly shot him and other family members at a home in Alameda.
The death was announced Monday by the city, which identified the victim as “baby Wesley.”
Last week, police arrested Shane Killian, alleging the 54-year-old shot and killed his wife, his 6-year-old son and his wife's parents at a home in Alameda on Wednesday night.
Authorities said he also shot Wesley, who was initially in critical condition before dying at a hospital.
The motive for the crime has not been revealed.
In a news release issued Monday, the city said “last week’s horrific incident continues to deeply affect members of the community” and noted that a vigil was held for the victims on Sunday. At the event, the Rev. Laura Rose of the First Congregational Church of Alameda spoke of the need for community members to support one another.
