BAKER - A coroner's report says a 4-month-old died from a gunshot wound after his father was killed by police, though officials won't say how the baby was shot.
The child, identified by family as La'Mello Parker, died in a hospital Tuesday morning. He was wounded Monday after his father, Eric Smith, killed two people in Baker and led police on a chase from East Baton Rouge to Harrison County in Mississippi.
Smith was shot to death by police after law enforcement spiked his tires and forced his car into a median along I-10. In a video posted on social media, officers could be heard firing a barrage of bullets at Smith's car.
The autopsy report released Wednesday did not say where on his body the child was shot. It's still unclear who fired the bullet.
