Tot-shoot family out for blood
Old Testament justice -- an eye for an eye -- is proper in the coldblooded shooting of a Staten Island toddler, the child’s family said yesterday.
As little Samyah Bailey recovered from surgery to remove her left eye, suspect Damark King, 19, appeared in a Staten Island court.
“An eye for an eye!” yelled Samyah’s aunt, Philecia Parker, 35.
“Hang yourself with a sheet, bitch!” another woman shouted at King.
Samyah, who will turn 2 in December, has undergone multiple surgeries at Richmond University Medical Center for the wound to her head.
The bullet that struck her went through the back of her head and exited between her eyes, said cops.
She’s experiencing a miraculous recovery, relatives say.
“She’s pulling through. She’s definitely going to be good,” said Christian Bailey, an uncle.
King is charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment.
A judge ordered him held without bail.
Parker said seeing him in court “gave me chills” -- especially since her family knows King well.
“I gave that boy a ride home” two weeks ago, she said.
In statements to cops, King admitted firing the gun at Samyah, prosecutors say.
King was paroled in January after serving four years for shooting a teen twice in the chest over an Xbox and a pair of sneakers.
