A nine-month-old boy sitting in a stroller being pushed by his mother on a central California sidewalk was shot and killed when someone opened fire from a car, police said.

The mother was walking Wednesday on a street in Merced when a car drove by and one of the occupants opened fire, striking the child, the Merced Police Department said in a statement.

Police officers responded to reports of a shooting and found the mother and child inside a McDonald’s about a block from where the child was shot, the department said.

Police have not identified a suspect or a motive in the shooting.
