Toddler dies after being shot on Brooklyn street Sep 2nd 2013, 14:14 A 1-year-old boy has died after he was shot in the head Sunday evening in Brooklyn.  MyFoxNY.com reports the boy, identified as Antiq Hennis, was in a stroller crossing Livonia Avenue with his parents in the Brownsville section of the borough when shots were fired shortly before 7:30 p.m. Antiq was rushed to Brookdale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A witness told the New York Post that "three to four shots" were fired. The paper reported that police were looking into the possibility that the boy's father, Anthony Hennis, was the intended target of the gunfire. A police source told the Post that the elder Hennis had a record of more than 20 arrests in New York and Pennsylvania, for offenses including narcotics, weapons possession, assault, and car theft and driving violations. However, Antiq Harris' uncle, Chris Dovsen, told the Post that Anthony had become a "changed man" since becoming a father.  Bishop Willie Billops of the Church of Faith, Hope and Charity, who knows the boy's father, told the Post that he drove the parents to the hospital to identify the body of their only child. "I'm outraged at the murder of a one-year-old baby," Billops said. "I grew up in this neighborhood and I've seen a lot -- but this is the worst." No arrests had been made as of midnight Sunday.  Sunday's shooting was the second of a toddler in eight days in Brooklyn. Three-year-old Tharell Edward was shot in the head and wounded Aug. 24 as he slept in his family's apartment where an acquaintance was watching him. Akeem Bernard, a friend of the baby sitter, was charged in that shooting. Click for more from MyFoxNY.com Click for more from the New York Post
