Two people were allegedly murdered by a Mississippi man who was killed along with his child after he was kidnapped and led police on a wild chase that ended in a shootout on Monday night.
The shootings took place after 30-year-old Eric Smith of the Mile Long Chase Police began in Louisiana, where he allegedly shot and killed his ex-girlfriend Kristin Parker, 32, and his 26-year-old nephew, Brandon Parker, on Monday. WLOX reported.
Smith then kidnapped the first child from his vehicle, which followed him.
After crossing into Mississippi, Smith avoided a tire deflation device fitted by police and ultimately stopped his car in Harris County.
With the infant inside the car, Smith and police exchanged bullets. Smith was shot and killed.
Reportedly, the child, identified as L’Mello Parker, was also killed.
Authorities said Parker was hospitalized, but was pronounced dead in the early hours of Tuesday.
The report said the county coroner would determine if the child was hit by a bullet or pellet.
