California baby allegedly shot by father is now dead along with four relatives

A one-year-old boy has died from injuries sustained last week when his father allegedly shot him and other family members in a home in Alameda.

The death was announced Monday by the city, which identified the victim as “Baby Wesley.”

Last week, police arrested Shane Killian, 54, who claimed he shot and killed his wife, six-year-old son and his wife’s parents in an Alameda home on Wednesday night.

According to authorities, he also shot Wesley, who was initially in critical condition and then died in the hospital.

A motive has not yet been announced.

A press release Monday said that “last week’s horrific incident continues to deeply impact parishioners” and noted that a vigil for the victims was held on Sunday. At the event, Rev. Laura Rose of the First Congregational Church of Alameda spoke about the need for parishioners to support one another.
