for being involved with a man who had a gun, and would get mad enough to shoot her?

HIGH POINT, N.C. — Police in High Point are investigating a deadly shooting involving a pregnant woman.

Police identified the victim as 21-year-old Tontoria York of High Point. She was 9 months pregnant. Police say her baby did not survive.

During their investigation officers say they determined the shooting was domestic related and charged 20-year-old Hayes with First Degree Murder.
