He is believed to have fired at least six gunshots at the young woman, four of which hit her, causing her and her unborn baby to die at the scene.

Despite being married, he and the victim had only been together for eight months, and the couple had broken up a week before the crime took place.

The police want the suspect on charges of aggravated femicide and child destruction.
