Earlier this year former college football star Quinton Baker, 28, came out as gay to his girlfriend’s friend moments before getting into a shootout with Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) officers and using his 3-year-old son as a hostage. His story is now resurfacing as the Clark County coroner admits they can’t determine if officers or Quinton killed the child during the shooting.
On February 3, Quinton and his son, Kentre Baker, were fatally shot as the father walked towards police, holding his son as hostage. In body-camera footage, the father held the child in his left arm. In his right hand, he held a gun, pointed at the child’s chest.
According to Kentre’s mother, Raneka Pate, things began after she and Quinton got into an argument. She told police Quinton told her friend “that he was gay.” During the argument things escalated. Raneka said Quinton beat her up and threatened to kill himself and their son. A day after the shooting, she told 8 News Now:
“Not only was my life threatened but my son’s life was threatened.”
