NYC mom of Bronx baby shot in head demands bail reform ahead of Biden visit: 'Who cares if Rikers fills up'

The New York City mother of an 11-month-old girl who was struck by a stray bullet in the Bronx last month when she was caught in the crossfire of a gunfight is calling for reforms, telling Fox News Digital, "Safety and right to life, liberty and justice matter."

Miraida Gomez, 32, was inside a vehicle parked at the intersection of East 198th Street and Valentine Avenue Jan. 19 when her baby daughter, less than a year old, suffered a gunshot wound to the face. Two weeks later, ahead of President Biden’s Thursday trip to New York City, Gomez called for changes to bail laws, the prosecution of known gun offenders and license-to-carry laws.

"These judges shouldn’t feel pressed to release individuals that carry a weapon, they should be pressed to charge them," Gomez said in a message to Fox News Digital. 

The New York Police Department (NYPD) is still hunting for the person who shot Gomez’s daughter. NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Unit is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the man’s arrest.
