Prayers for this family. They have endured so much.
This is so sad. She was so close to having her baby 😢
Both was found deceased inside of the car, and her brother was shoot to death last year. I hope the mother move from where she live.
If the baby wasn’t extracted from her it’s three deaths 💔
Omg. This whole situation and cycle of violence is horrible. If any of them have any sense, from all of these groups, they will move away from there and never look back. How many innocents have to die for you to understand that?
Prayers to the family
How sad. Prayers to the families.
Worrisome that a 9month over due child will not be acknowledged by the media. 😢
Prayers for this family they have endured so much
Sounds like someone is sending a message after the stunt the pulled in the courtroom
Praying for their families
Condolences to the families🙏🏿🙏🏿
Some evil going on 😢
FYI: Their deaths were likely retaliation for continuing to snitch on gang activity in light of her brother's death. Also, STOP referring to them as "teens," they're full blown adults who knew what they were doing. Their parents even warned them to stop since she was pregnant and endangering their lives. The mother LIED to the cops and only called in after she was missing for 3 days. Their time of death PROVES that. So now we have an issue of "why did mom lie to the cops and wait to declare them missing??".
May they RIP
Praying for her family & friends and may Savannah, Matthew, and their baby R.I.P. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sounds like the early stages of Hatfields v McCoys. This is just so...beyond awful. The cruelty of it -- I thought for sure it was personal. I was honestly expecting an ex to be involved, waiting for the day the baby was supposed to come. Now this revelation.
100% gang related. Horrible.
Father God...i cry out for You.. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.. Forgive us our trespasses.. Deliver us from evil. For Yours is the Kingdom, Power n Glory..
That’s a whole family gone! 😢
