NEW ORLEANS — A 1-year-old girl has died after she was shot while on a walk with her babysitter Thursday night in Central City.
The babysitter, an 18-year-old woman, was shot in the back, but police said she’s expected to survive. The child who was killed was identified as Londyn Samuels.
The shooting happened at about 8:20 p.m. near the intersection of South Saratoga Street and Washington Avenue.
A city is looking for answers after a one-year-old New Orleans girl was gunned down in the arms of her babysitter while they were on a walk down a city street late this week.
Little Londyn Samuels was killed after a bullet continued through the back of her 18-year-old nanny on Thursday night, leaving the babysitter wounded, but in stable condition as of Saturday.
The two had been on a stroll through Central City, when shots rang out around 8:20pm. NBC News reports that there were two shots fired, both passing through the babysitter’s torso and into baby Londyn.
