Relatives say a Harvey 2-year-old boy shot in the face Thursday afternoon is on the mend, though surgery may be required to restore his smile. Meanwhile, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrested a man suspected of opening fire on the boy and his father.
Carl Baham, 19, of 6144 Ray St., Marrero, was booked Friday night with three counts of attempted second-degree murder, according to a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrest report.
Baham is accused of firing at a vehicle in the 1600 block of Apache Drive in Harvey on Thursday afternoon, striking the toddler, who was in the car, in the mouth.
