Dad shot dead while holding his baby on Bronx street

A Bronx dad was shot in the head while carrying his 1-year-old daughter in his arms on Tuesday July 7th and his killer walked away laughing, sources and witnesses said.

Allen McQueen, 21, was taking his little girl to play in a park when the gunman approached them on Taylor Avenue near Guerlain Street in Parkchester around 1:30 p.m. Witnesses said McQueen was struck while trying to shield the baby. He crumpled to the ground, sending daughter Taylor tumbling onto the sidewalk.

"The guy who got shot had the baby in his hands. He was trying to run for cover because he was trying to protect the little girl,” said a witness “Once he got hit, he went down, and the child went down with him. The guy who did the shooting was running away and laughing. He seemed like an insane person.”

The shooter fled in a Mercedes-Benz as a stranger rushed over and picked up the crying toddler.

“My first instinct was to get the baby,” said Arielle Corkery, 23, a mother of six. “When I got to her, she was full of blood. I didn’t know if it was her blood or her dad’s.”
