Overview
- Police found a 17-year-old woman unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head outside a short-term rental in Bay Park and rushed her to a hospital where doctors performed an emergency cesarean; the mother later died and the newborn remains in critical condition.
- Officers received multiple 911 calls just after 1 a.m. and within hours located and arrested Trevon Williams, who had traveled from Phoenix and was found hiding nearby with a semi-automatic handgun.
- Court records show Williams was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder, attempted murder and multiple weapons counts, including alleged possession and transport of a machine gun.
- Authorities say the victim and family had traveled from Phoenix to San Diego for a visit and that Williams met the teen outside the rental before the shooting, and the case is being actively investigated by the San Diego Police Department.
- The killing follows other recent shootings involving pregnant Arizona teenagers and has prompted police to ask the public for tips by calling the SDPD Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers.
