FLINT, Michigan (WJRT) — Family members of Ashley Williams are mourning a second death after her baby boy died overnight, barely 24 hours after she died from injuries sustained in a shooting on Flint’s south side.
Kathy Williams, who was the mother of 34-year-old Ashley and grandmother to baby Isaiah, said he died at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Hurley Children’s Hospital.
Ashley was more than 26 weeks pregnant when she was shot on Browning Avenue around 5:45 p.m. Tuesday. An ambulance rushed her to Hurley Medical Center, where she died.
Medical staff at the hospital were able to deliver Isaiah and treat him in the NICU for more than 24 hours before he died. Kathy Williams called Isaiah a “miracle baby” because Ashley didn’t think she was able to get pregnant.
The Flint Police Department continues looking for suspects in Tuesday evening’s shooting. Kathy Williams said Ashley got into a car with two men and then attempted to leave when one of them opened fire.
Authorities have not confirmed any information about the circumstances leading to the shooting. Police have not announced any arrests or released any information about possible suspects.
Anyone with information about the shooting should call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-422-JAIL.
