This baby/fetus was shot while in the mother's womb. The perp is being tried for murder. Man, 18, arrested in subway shooting Violence on the T led to baby's death By Michael S. Rosenwald and Douglas Belkin, Globe Staff, 2/11/2003 Boston police arrested an 18-year-old South End man last night and charged him in connection with last week's subway shooting that resulted in the death of a newborn boy. Police officials said Andre Green will be arraigned this morning in Boston Municipal Court on two charges of assault with a dangerous weapon. Suffolk County prosecutors have said they would bring murder charges against the shooter of Hawa Adama Barry of Lynn and her baby. Law enforcement officials said the charges could be upgraded as the investigation continues. Investigators were tight-lipped about information surrounding the arrest, declining to release a photograph or any details about Green. Barry's brother-in-law said last night of the charges, ''I'm happy that he's been arrested.'' He said he hopes that everyone responsible will be held accountable. ''I`m dealing with the funeral of the baby. I don't have time to think about this,'' said the brother-in-law, who asked not to be named. ''I haven't slept in three days.'' NEWS UPDATE Bail was set today at $100,000 for a teen-ager accused in connection with last week's shooting aboard an MBTA Orange Line train in Boston. One of the bullets hit a pregnant woman, who lost her baby. Barry was about two weeks away from her due date. She survived, but her baby boy died shortly after being delivered by emergency C-section. Around 8 p.m. last Wednesday, Barry, who worked in Jamaica Plain and was in her ninth month of pregnancy, was returning to Lynn on the Orange Line after work when a man on the train flashed a gun. A passenger walked the length of the car telling passengers that a man aboard had a gun, but Barry, who is a native of Guinea in West Africa and speaks little English, may not have understood the warning. At least two shots rang out, and Barry was hit in the abdomen. Barry's child was delivered by caesarean section at Boston Medical Center, but died within hours. Suffolk County prosecutors said autopsy results showed that the child had been struck by a bullet and that the baby died as a result of the shooting. A spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Dan Conley said last week that murder charges would be brought against the shooter. Green grew up in an apartment building on Columbus Avenue just blocks from the Massachusetts Avenue station where Barry was shot, a neighbor said. The neighbor, Edwina Johnson, said Green was the third oldest of six boys and was raised by his grandmother and grandfather following his mother's death when he was a toddler. Barry remains at Boston Medical Center, where she had been upgraded to stable condition over the weekend. Her relatives said she is improving. Barry, 29, who has twin daughters living in Conakry, the coastal capital of Guinea, moved to the Boston area about 10 months ago in search of the American dream. She worked a few days a week at Linda's African Hair Braiding on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain. She had been beaming about the coming baby boy, her colleagues said. Barry's husband, Mamadou Bialo, was visiting friends in Tennessee when the shooting occurred. Family members and friends in Boston didn't tell him about his son's fate until he returned Friday at South Station. Bialo had come to Boston about four years ago and worked several jobs in the Boston area so he could bring his wife to America. The baby would have been a US citizen. He will be buried in Boston when Barry is strong enough to leave the hospital and attend the funeral, according to the family. Boston police had been pleading with the public to come forward with information about the shooting, which apparently erupted following a dispute among a group of young men. The gunshots went off as the train pulled into the station and the people involved in the dispute fled, as did witnesses. Surveillance video cameras recorded images of the suspects in the shooting and authorities said they expected that evidence would help them capture the gunman.
