The child’s mother woke up to see her jealous ex-lover standing over her bed with a handgun, Colorado police reported. The mother fled next door to the neighbor’s apartment to call 911.

McKoy then got on Facebook and posted the picture of his daughter Mia saying, “I told u I can’t live without u lol u thought I was joking now me n Mia out this b—-.” He then shot and killed Mia.

The mother had an active restraining order against McKoy after a domestic violence incident had occurred. Relatives reported that McKoy was a possessive brute. “He threatened to kill me, why don’t he just kill me? Why did he have to go kill my daughter?” the mother said.
