SAN DIEGO, CA (AZFamily) — A pregnant 17-year-old from Arizona is dead, and her baby is in critical condition after a shooting in Southern California early Saturday morning.
Just after 1 a.m., San Diego police responded to multiple reports of a shooting in a neighborhood just east of Mission Bay.
When officers arrived, they found the teen, who was 32 weeks pregnant, with a gunshot wound to the head.
She was taken to a hospital, where doctors performed an emergency cesarean section and delivered her baby before she died. The baby remains in critical condition.
Police say the teen and her family were visiting San Diego from Arizona and staying at a short-term rental.
Investigators believe the teen’s 19-year-old boyfriend, identified as Trevon Williams, also from Arizona, traveled to San Diego separately and met up with her outside the rental before shooting her.
Police say Williams ran to a nearby canyon but was later found and arrested. He was reportedly armed with a semi-automatic handgun.
Williams was booked into the San Diego County jail on suspicion of murder.
Anyone with information is asked to call the San Diego Police Department at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
