The details via the Daily Mail;
A pregnant Chicago woman was shot while she was trying to rob somebody in a car, leaving her and her unborn child dead on the street.
Genesis Escobar, 21, was killed after climbing into somebody’s car in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood on Monday afternoon, and then demanding money from them.
It’s unclear if she was armed with any sort of a weapon.
Police said gunfire erupted from within the car and from outside the car, leaving Escobar with multiple gunshot wounds.
She was then pitched out of the car into a nearby intersection, where the shooters covered her body in cash and left her.
Escobar was seven months pregnant, and friends said she was looking forward to being a mother, according to News4.
Nearby resident Iris Alvarez said Escobar had come to visit her daughter around 1pm Monday before the incident.
‘She texted my daughter and told my daughter: ‘Please help me! I’m in trouble!” Alvarez told News4. ‘But my daughter was sleeping.’
It is unclear what situation Escobar was in.
Alvarez said shortly after they heard gunshots and went outside to see what was happening.
Outside they found Escobar lying in the street and gasping for breath.
Police said Escobar was shot in the back, shoulder and hand while she was inside the car.
Witnesses said she was with a group of people when she attempted the car, and that they also fired shots in the altercation.
Everybody involved in the incident fled the scene after Escobar’s body was dumped.
Escobar was taken to a nearby hospital, but later died there.
‘They threw a bunch of money on top of her,’ Alvarez said. ‘I don’t know if she was into some kind of trouble.’
‘I don’t care how much trouble you’re in,’ said Alvarez. ‘I feel that for a person to do that to someone, doesn’t have a heart.’
