Overview
- Phoenix firefighters discovered a pregnant woman shot at a Motel 6 near 24th Drive and Thomas Road, and she was rushed to a hospital where she was later pronounced dead on Monday.
- Hospital medical teams intervened and succeeded in saving the woman’s unborn baby, who was placed into neonatal care after delivery.
- Phoenix police detectives are actively canvassing the scene and investigating what led up to the shooting, and officials have not released any information about a suspect.
- Local reporting connects this case to two recent incidents that left pregnant women dead in the region, including the Buckeye shooting that killed 17-year-old Rylee Montgomery and a late‑May San Diego case involving another 17‑year‑old.
- Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and further developments will hinge on crime-scene evidence, witness interviews and hospital updates about the infant’s condition.
