Man whose birth was recognised as a miracle by Vatican accused of double shooting

Man whose birth was recognised as a miracle by Vatican accused of double shooting The remarkable medical recovery of Tyquan Johnson, 19, was officially recognised as a miracle by Pope Leo XIV last year after the now 19-year-old 'came back from the dead' shortly after birth A man whose birth was recognised as a 'miracle' by the Vatican is wanted by police over a double shooting. Tyquan Johnson had registered no pulse or breath for over 65 minutes on the day he was born in 2007 when his doctor, Juan Sánchez-Esteban, prayed for 19th century Spanish priest Salvador Valera Parra to intervene - and the baby's heart unexpectedly started beating again. His birth was formally recognised as an official medical miracle by Pope Leo XIV last year to advance the process of Father Valera being made a saint. Johnson, now aged 19, was arrested at a flat in Virginia, US on Wednesday morning after two men were injured in a shooting in Rhode Island. A second person, who was not been named, was arrested on gun charges. Police said they responded to a report of shots fired at a location in Newport News, Rhode Island, on July 19, where two men, ages 22 and 25, suffered 'non-life-threatening gunshot wounds' to their 'lower extremities'. Johnson was identified as a suspect, with a warrant issued for assault with a firearm and discharging a firearm in a compact area. His arrest on Wednesday was carried out by US Marshals, federal enforcement officers who track down suspects who cross state lines. Johnson made the headlines last year when the Vatican Pope Leo XIV officially recognised his dramatic 2007 medical recovery as a miracle. He was born three weeks premature after his mother suffered complications during pregnancy, and stopped breathing immediately after delivery. Recalling the moment in an interview with US news station WAVY last year, she said: "He came out and told us, ‘He’s not breathing. "Doctors couldn’t get a pulse, and Leandra’s baby stopped breathing for 65 minutes. The doctor was telling us, our baby was dead." After trying desperately to resuscitate the newborn, the consultant on the ward said a silent prayer to Father vALERA, a 19th century Spanish priest who risked his life to care for the sick during cholera epidemic. The consultant was from Huércal-Overa, Spain, the priest's hometown, a Rhode Island Catholic church claimed last year. He was said to have been preparing to speak to the parents to deliver the devastating news of their baby's death when a paediatrician pulled him into a side room to tell him the baby had regained a heartbeat. Father Valera, who died in was put forward for beatification in 1954, but it wasn't until last year, when the pope acknowledged the miracle, that this was declared. Beatification is the second stage in the Catholic church acknowledging someone as a saint, with further consideration and a second miracle needed to occur after beatification before the title is given.
