Pregnant woman shot, killed overnight in Baton Rouge; unborn child delivered at hospital
Baton Rouge police late Saturday were still trying to come up with a clear picture of the events that led to the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old pregnant woman at her apartment late Friday.
While authorities have not identified any suspects, they say whoever shot and killed Brittney Mills was probably someone she knew. Her unborn baby was saved.
Cpl. Don Coppola, a police spokesman, said investigators believe from a preliminary investigation that Mills opened her door to someone who wanted to use her car and was shot multiple times after she refused.
Mills, who lived in an apartment complex in the 200 block of Ship Drive, was found dead when police arrived about 10:38 p.m. Friday but was rushed to a local hospital, where her unborn child was removed in unstable condition. Authorities declined to identify the hospital the woman was taken to but said the infant’s condition had improved to stable and the baby was expected to survive.
