The victim was dropping Kevin Clement's infant daughter off into his custody when Clement emerged with a firearm.

BROCKTON – A Brockton man faces charges after police say he shot at another the man attempting to drop his infant son into his custody.

Kevin Clement, 31, of 279 Ash St. in Brockton is being charged with armed robbery with a firearm and assault with a dangerous weapon.

At about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, police received several calls reporting a confrontation at 28 Bunker Ave. that reportedly ended with shots being fired, Brockton Police Sgt. Charles Cassiani said.

Shawn Smith, a Brockton man in his 30s, reported to police that he drove to Bunker Ave. to deliver his girlfriend’s infant daughter to the custody of Clement, who is the child’s father.

Clement brought the infant inside the home and returned to Smith’s grey 2008 Chrysler several times to retrieve items related to the care of the infant, police said.

Several minutes later, police said, Clement emerged from the house and threatened Smith with a gun.

“The last time he comes out he has a firearm,” Cassiani said. “He flashed a handgun and told the victim, ‘Don’t ever bring my child, ever again.’”

Smith told police Clement demanded he hand over his gold chain and cell phone.

“The victim handed it over and started to leave,” Cassiani said, “And as he’s leaving (Clement) fired a shot through the rear window, striking the driver’s side rear window.”

When police arrived, Clement had left the scene.

Police said a woman, who identified herself as Clement’s girlfriend, was inside the apartment with the infant.

The woman told police Clement had left for work.

Police questioned neighbors who reported that there had been an altercation but that they had not heard gunfire.

Police met Smith at Nemo’s Market, located at 572 N. Main St. in Brockton and photographed the vehicle for evidence.

According to police reports, no evidence of ballistics was found inside the vehicle.

Police requested a warrant for the Clement’s arrest.
