Prayers for this family. They have endured so much.

This is so sad. She was so close to having her baby 😢

@1stisraelitessweetness17

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.

@ngarcia2116

If the baby wasn’t extracted from her it’s three deaths 💔

@justkiddin84

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?

@AylaPerez-mc2xp

Prayers to the family

@barbbyerly4043

How sad. Prayers to the families.

@eyemunchained8968

Worrisome that a 9month over due child will not be acknowledged by the media. 😢

@liverightgetmoneyent

@catus-cactus

Praying for their families

@bettylanns330

Condolences to the families🙏🏿🙏🏿

@invisibleenergy1306

Some evil going on 😢

@blankspace178

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??".

@iserved8840

Praying for her family & friends and may Savannah, Matthew, and their baby R.I.P. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

@InaEsin

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.

@gt2745

100% gang related. Horrible.

@lightfountain

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..

@tristancameron4

That’s a whole family gone! 😢
