Delivered via emergency C-section, the newborn is at Sunnybrook hospital.

The family also said the visitation and funeral for Bobb will take place in Brampton on Thursday, May 26, 2016, and Friday, May 27, 2016. They asked for privacy from the media, particularly in respect of Bobb’s three children.

The mother was dropping off three companions to an amateur men’s league basketball game on Sunday May 15. They made a stop on John Garland Boulevard, near Jamestown Crescent, to drop one of the passengers off when a “person or persons” open fired on the vehicle, according to police.

The three other passengers, who remained uninjured, brought her to a nearby hospital where she died.

Police said the vehicle was “certainly targeted,” but it’s not clear why.

The shooter or shooters are still at large.
