1-Year-Old Boy Dies After Alameda Shooting That Killed 4 Family Members

A 1-year-old boy who was injured in a domestic shooting in Alameda last week has died, authorities said.

The child, Wesley Killian, died at a local hospital, the Alameda Police Department announced Monday.

Four other family members were killed Wednesday at the family’s home: Wesley’s mother, 6-year-old brother and both grandparents on his mother’s side. Four of the victims were identified by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office on Monday as Brenda Morales, 36; William Killian, 6; Wesley Killian, 1; and Miguel Carcamo-Ramirez, 70. The grandmother’s identity has not yet been released.

Shane Killian, 54, is accused of shooting his wife, sons and in-laws, and before Wesley’s death, he was facing charges of murder and attempted murder.

Officials said they responded to a call from a neighbor on the 400 block of Kitty Hawk Road on Wednesday night and found Miguel Carcamo-Ramirez, who had suffered a gunshot wound, outside the home. While administering aid to Carcamo-Ramirez, officers found and detained Killian in the doorway of the family’s residence, which they had recently moved into.

Upon entering the home, officers located the remaining four victims, all of whom had gunshot wounds. Wesley was taken to a local hospital, and the four other victims died at the scene, according to city officials.

Alameda Police Chief Nishant Joshi said during a press conference last week that officials found multiple firearms and “significant evidence” in the residence and that statements given by Carcamo-Ramirez before his death were being reviewed.

Shane Killian first appeared in Alameda Superior Court on Friday, represented by Palden Ukyab, a member of Alameda County’s public defender’s office. Killian waived his arraignment and is expected to return on July 22 to face charges of murder, elder and child abuse and possession of an illegal firearm, among others. He is being held at Santa Rita Jail without bail.
