The family of a 15-month-old girl, hit by a stray bullet while riding in a car in Oakland speaks out.
“When I saw the blood, I just wanted to get to the car as quickly as possible to get her help,” said Jose. “We called 911 but did not get a response and at that point we went to the fire station, which is a block away. We went there to get help because the bullet hit her side.”Maya has already undergone two surgeries to repair internal organs damaged by the bullet and doctors told the family more surgeries may be needed.
Jose explained that he never got a good look at the gunman because he was too busy trying to shield his family from the gunfire. Investigators say surveillance video shows a man at the corner of 11th, shooting at vehicles and added that its clear Maya’s family were not the intended targets.As Jose waits for his daughter to recover, he said that he's already making plans to move out of the city and refuses to raise his kids in Oakland.
“I’m frustrated, you call the police and they don’t show up or they get there late. You can’t do anything in Oakland anymore,” he said. Maya’s family told NBC Bay Area that doctors are waiting to see how she responds to her latest surgery before estimating how long her recovery will take. They say it could still be weeks before she is released from the hospital.
