A 7-month-old baby boy was killed in a South Side house fire early Sunday, just one day after his parents got married.
The baby's father was in critical condition Sunday evening for injuries sustained in the fire. The boy's mother and six other children - ages 1 to 17 -- also escaped from the home.
The fire broke out at about 2 a.m. in a home in the 1700 block of West 59th Street in the West Englewood neighborhood.
The baby was identified as Treshawn Estes, according to his aunt, Cynthia Estes.
The baby's parents, Samuel (Tony) Estes, 51, and Shamekia Williamson, 37, were married on Saturday. They had a blended family of seven children.
"Here it is his wedding day and they lose their baby and he almost lost his life," Cynthia Estes said.
