Baby injured in parking lot while parents were buying formula.

Jeremiah Carlos, a three-month-old baby boy, had his life turned upside down when he was shot in the chest while his parents went out to buy more baby formula. The incident took place on Saturday afternoon in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, leaving Jeremiah in serious condition and fighting for his recovery.

According to a police report, the family was driving through the parking lot of a Walgreens on 3045 W 26th Street when two men got out of an older model, brown SUV and began shooting at their Chevrolet Camaro. One of the suspects had a green rifle and the other had a handgun. After the shooting, the suspects quickly fled the scene in their SUV.

Jeremiah's father, who was driving the Camaro, was hit with multiple gunshot wounds on his shoulder, arm, and neck. He immediately ran into the Walgreens for safety. Meanwhile, Jeremiah's mother, who was in the passenger seat, quickly got behind the wheel and drove to a nearby intersection where she flagged down an ambulance. Little Jeremiah, still in his car seat, was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition.

The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with Jeremiah's medical expenses. On the page, they wrote, "While simply out for a store run to get baby formula, this unfortunate and senseless act of violence occurred and turned our family's world upside down. We are now facing a devastating crisis." As of Wednesday evening, the page had raised over $3,300.

Jeremiah underwent nerve and clavicle surgery on Monday and is now in stable condition. However, doctors predict that he will require medical treatment until he is a teenager due to the severity of his injuries. He is currently connected to multiple tubes and IVs, and his road to recovery will be long and challenging.

This heartbreaking incident comes just weeks after a two-year-old boy in Georgia accidentally shot himself dead in a Walmart parking lot while his parents were purchasing fireworks. It serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of gun violence and the need for stricter gun control laws. As of now, no one has been arrested in connection with the shooting of Jeremiah Carlos.
