WESTMINSTER, Colo. - Family members tell 7NEWS a man took a picture of his baby on Monday, posted it on Facebook, then shot and killed the girl and then shot himself.
The mother of the baby called police and said when she woke up this morning, her ex-boyfriend was standing over her with a gun.
The mother told police there was an altercation and she ran out of her apartment near 72nd Avenue and Stuart Street.
She called police from a neighbor’s apartment.
Westminster Police Investigator Wayne Read said when officers arrived, they heard gunshots. Officers said they found a child and an adult with gunshot wounds.
Both victims were taken to the hospital. Police confirm that 19-month-old Mia McKoy-Phanthavongsa died.
The condition of the suspect, Merrick McKoy, 22, is unknown, police said.
Police said McKoy had an active restraining order preventing him from being at that apartment.
McKoy's Facebook page shows a photo of the man and the girl posted just before the shooting. Two other posts, after the photo said, "Ima miss stall lol [sic]" and "Don't judge me had no choice [sic]."

Father Pleads Guilty to Killing Sons
11/18/2013 10:41 AM 11/18/2013 10:52 AM
FAYETTEVILLE, AR-- A Northwest Arkansas man has pleaded guilty to killing his two infant sons.
On Monday, the Washington County prosecuting attorney recommended Travis Fox serve two life sentences without the possibility of parole.
Fox was charged with two counts of capital murder, accused of shaking both his six and seven-month-old sons to death over a two-year period. He was arrested for the 2011 death of the six-month-old boy only after police responded to the 2013 death of his seven-month-old son back in March.
According to court documents, the investigating coroner recognized Fox from the 2011 death, which was also determined to be suspicious, but hadn't yielded charges.
Police say Fox admitted to shaking both boys while he was under the influence of alcohol.

Snyder County father jailed for allegedly beating 4-month-old son
By Marcia Moore
The Daily Item
SELINSGROVE — A 29-year-old Selinsgrove man is being held in lieu of $1 million bail for the attempted homicide of his 4-month-old son who suffered a brain injury and multiple fractures following an alleged beating in late October.
Selinsgrove police said Mahmoud Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim called emergency medical personnel to 314 W. Snyder St. on Oct. 28 to aid his son, who was in respiratory arrest. Father and son were the only occupants in the home.
Medical staff determined the infant had suffered brain and eye injuries and multiple bone, rib and wrist fractures and contacted police on Oct. 29.
The condition of the infant, who is being treated in the pediatric intensive care unit at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, was unknown as of Monday morning.
Police obtained a warrant for Ibrahim’s arrest on Nov. 15 from District Judge John H. Reed charging him with felony criminal attempt to commit homicide, aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.
Shortly after Ibrahim was listed in the National Crime Information Center as a wanted man, borough police received information that he had just been involved in an accident on or near Route 80 in Hazleton on Nov. 15 and that his vehicle was disabled.
Hazleton state police returned the accident site where Ibrahim was waiting to be picked up by a friend and took him into custody on the warrant without incident, police said.
Ibrahim waived arraignment in Luzerne County and was brought back to Selinsgrove for a preliminary arraignment before District Judge Reed who imposed a $1 million bail pending a Nov. 26 preliminary hearing.

Judge: Dad's prior history of domestic violence, child abuse can be presented at trial (Livingston County, Michigan)
Good for Judge Hatty. Too often juries don't understand that abuse is part of a systematic history of abuse involving the mother and the children. So each new assault or crime is presented as some sort of unique event, which is totally misleading.
Dad is identified as GARY TODD YERMAN.

Judge denies defense request in child-abuse case
Fowlerville father is accused of giving girl, 15, a black eye
Nov. 16, 2013 11:11 PM
Written by Lisa Roose-Church Daily Press & Argus
A Livingston County judge denied the defense’s request to stop the prosecution from presenting to a jury prior domestic violence allegations against a Fowlerville father accused of giving his daughter a black eye.
However, Judge Michael P. Hatty left the door open for the defense attorney representing Gary Todd Yerman, who is charged with third-degree child abuse for striking his 15-year-old daughter in the face with his hand, to bring the motion again.
“I filed this motion because, frankly, I’d like to know whether I’m trying one case or this case with 15 or 16 ancillary cases,” defense attorney Mike Gildner said. “None of those previous incidences ... were reported previous to the underlying charge here. They were given to us in what is, what I can best describe is, a rambling letter by the ex-wife.”
Gildner said the old allegations “go back 15 years,” and he questioned the relevancy to the current allegations levied against his client.
One of the prior allegations involves Yerman allegedly dragging his son off the football field by his face mask and breaking either his ex-wife’s thumb or arm or both, Gildner added.
Assistant Prosecutor Betsey Geyer Sedore said the prior domestic violence allegations — five involving the daughter; two involving the defendant’s son; and four involving his ex-wife — are relevant because it shows the defendant’s propensity toward domestic violence.
“He has abused his family before. Therefore, he more than likely did this act,” she told the judge. “That is why the prosecution needs it. The defense would love to keep it a ‘he said, she said’ case. ... It goes to show (the daughter) is telling the truth.”
Sedore also disputed that the allegations were not reported.
Meanwhile, Yerman, who was not in court Thursday, is expected be at the next hearing to answer whether he went to Iowa in violation of bond conditions that state he cannot leave the state of Michigan without approval.
Sedore said she’s learned that Yerman’s travel to Iowa was to address an “assault-type charge” against a non-family member. She also expressed that Yerman “might be” trying to intimidate his son on a recent hunting trip in which Yerman allegedly told his son, “You better watch what you say because I’m going to hear it all.”
Hatty gave the defense attorney one week to get his client to court to address the possible bond violation.
Yerman, 44, had initially pleaded no contest in August to third-degree child abuse for striking his 15-year-old daughter in the face with his hand and he was scheduled for sentencing.
However, as the sentencing hearing started, Sedore told the judge that Yerman and his attorney had made comments that implied the defendant had been “forced to plea.” She wanted the judge to ensure that Yerman wanted the plea entered.
Yerman withdrew his plea after a private discussion with his attorney. He is tentatively scheduled for trial in December.
Yerman’s 15-year-old daughter testified at an earlier hearing that she and her father argued at his Cohoctah Township home in September 2012 after her stepmother accused her of stealing a belt.
On cross-examination, the teen admitted that she told some friends she had been kicked in the face during cheerleading practice because she did not want Child Protective Services involved.

Judge awards custody of two daughters to registered sex offender dad (St. Louis, Missouri)
Dad is identified as ALAN MACKE. The judge is NOT identified. Why? Who are we protecting here?
Nor are the "other criminal charges" against the father identified. Why?
Why are we buying Daddy's explanation for the registered sex offender status? I some how doubt he is telling the whole truth here. Teenage couples having sex are not typically given registered offender status.

(KMOV.com) -- News 4 is uncovering a case as a judge ruled to give a registered sex offender custody of his kids and the ruling has raised a lot of questions.
There are criminal records for both the mother and the father in this case and they’re pretty extensive.
But only dad is a registered sex offender and the mother of two little girls said she can’t understand why a judge has granted him custody.
Stephanie Krast admits she’s not the best mother, but she’d rather her kids stayed with their grandmother then be handed off to Alan Macke.
Even though Macke’s faced other criminal charges, according to the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, his only sex offense was in 1998. He was 18 and his victim was 16.
News 4 talked with Macke over the phone.
He told me the victim was his girlfriend and said he’s cleaned up his act.
“The judge did it for a reason yeah, I am a registered sex offender,” said Macke, “I have not been in trouble for a long time, I take good care, I have for a long time.”
Starting next week, Macke will have custody of his kids for six months under supervision to see how it goes.
The judge in the case didn’t return our message to get his comments.

Charges dropped against custodial dad in death of toddler son (Shanandoah County, Virginia)
Instead, authorities are blaming the fiancée (not the mother) for the murder of the little boy.
Not one word on how Daddy got custody here, or what happened to this boy's mother.
Notice how mothers are routinely blamed for not "stopping" a violent male bashing their kids--as if they even they necessarily had the power to do so. Since often the same dude is bashing them.
But not this guy. He's gonna walk with no accountability. Typical.
Dad is identified as JEREMY A. VERMILLION.

Charge dropped against boy's father
By Alex Bridges
Shenandoah County prosecutors dropped a child-endangerment charge against a man whose fiancée stands accused of murdering his son.
Authorities had charged Jeremy A. Vermillion with one count of endangerment of a child while in one's custody after his toddler-age son died June 3.
Nicole Dawn Miller, 26, identified as Vermillion's fiancée at the time of child's death, stands charged with capital murder and could face the death penalty if convicted.
Prosecutors also blamed Vermillion, the child's biological father and primary custodian, for not helping the toddler before the incident.
At a hearing in Shenandoah County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court on Nov. 7, Judge William Sharp Jr. granted a motion by Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Louis Campola seeking to dismiss the charge against Vermillion. However, under the motion the prosecutor can seek to revive the charge. It is not uncommon for prosecutors to ask to dismiss a charge in a lower court only to seek an indictment by a grand jury in the same case.
Officers with the Woodstock Police Department responded to Vermillion's residence for a report of a toddler not breathing. Officers noticed "several suspicious bruises" on the child's body, according to a criminal complaint filed for an arrest warrant served on Vermillion.
The child later died at the University of Virginia Medical Center as a result of non-accidental trauma, according to the complaint.
Investigators interviewed Vermillion after the incident.
"Vermillion admitted to seeing bruises on the child prior to the incident; however he failed to render necessary medical attention to the child," the complaint states. "Doctors who cared for the child ... said it was impossible for a child of this age to cause such injuries to themself [sic]."
Miller remains held without bond in the Shenandoah County Jail on the charge of capital murder. The maximum punishment for a conviction of capital murder in Virginia is death.
Judge Dennis L. Hupp has scheduled Miller's next appearance in the circuit court for Dec. 4. After her indictment this summer, Hupp appointed Harrisonburg attorneys John C. Holloran and William W. Eldridge IV as Miller's defense counsel. At her most recent court appearance Sept. 18, records note that the defense did not request discovery evidence from the commonwealth at that time. Defense did request a tentative trial date for sometime in November 2014.
Commonwealth's Attorney Amanda Wiseley has filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty against the defendant in the case. Wiseley states in the notice that "there is a probability that the Defendant had committed criminal acts of violence that would constitute a continuing serious threat to society and/or that her conduct in committing the offense for which she stands charged was outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible or inhuman in that it involved torture, depravity of mind or an aggravated battery to the victim."
Hupp also has granted a request by the defense for a court-appointed, fact and mitigation investigator in the case. The commonwealth attorney's office did not object to the defense request. The court allowed the defense to hire Doris Pye as its fact-and-mitigation investigator at a rate of $75 per hour, with a cap of $3,500. Counsel would need to come back to the court and ask for more funds should the cost for her services reach the cap, the judge's order states.
The defense request indicates that Pye has been appointed to serve as such an investigator in 11 capital cases in state and federal jurisdictions. Pye also has aided defense counsel in 22 capital murder cases after an initial conviction.
