Officials are beginning to doubt a father's story that he was changing his baby's diaper at the time of the shooting that killed her, police sources said Wednesday.

Officials on Monday said Watkins told them the baby was on the front passenger seat of the family van when a gunman walked up behind and opened fire. Little Jonylah Watkins was wounded in five places: in the thigh, shoulder, lung, liver and bowels.
But a medical examiner source indicated it was likely a single bullet doing all that damage. The bullet traversed down and through her body from her shoulder to her groin and ended up in her diaper, an official said.

so horrible what she had to endure in her final hours of life.
Additionally, there seems to be a debate between the family spokesperson, Rev. Corey Brooks (who has associated himself with some rather controversial issues per recent msm) and police with regards to Jonathan Watkins alleged gang ties.
Whether dad is a current or former gang member is really irrelevant imo. The consequences of a history of poor choices and a long criminal record don't just go away once one has a child and marries that child's mother.
And consequences of poor choices don't just go away when one decides they are no longer in a gang, but still living in the immediate area associated with trouble. Kind of like a drunk continuing to hang out in a bar after getting sober, it usually doesn't work too well that way. Cleaning up one's act is a process, not an event. That should be of importance to the good rev. if he really cares about this precious innocent child and wants a better chance at making a difference. Gotta get people to understand when bad choices are made we risk the consequences for those decisions for a long time.
Debating dad is an angel as opposed to Dad admitting his faults and his 'role' in his daughters death will go much much further than turning him into a saint for marrying his childs mother.
All jmo and praying dad decides to fully cooperate if in fact he does know who shot his daughter.
ETA: by 'his role', I mean why he would be targeted by an alleged gang member. I realize the perp is the sole person responsible, but there was a reason the perp targeted dad.
