She was killed while at home with her five-year-old and seven-year-old children and her parents. Her brother, Ronald Steward, age 26, ran to help his sister, but was shot and is in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kxlf.com\/story\/34222161\/orlando-manhunt-for-suspected-cop-killer-expands-reward-now-100000\">Two weeks<\/a> before Loyd was accused of killing Nixon he had posted on Facebook: &#8220;Goals!!!! To be on Americas most wanted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, police say Loyd shot and killed Master Sgt. Debra Clayton when she confronted him outside of a Walmart. Clayton had learned that Loyd was sighted near the Walmart and ordered him to stop when she spotted him. He immediately began shooting at her.<\/p>\n<p>Loyd fled in a car, firing shots at another officer who was not seriously injured. After exiting that vehicle, Loyd stole a different one, then exited that vehicle and ran into an apartment complex.<\/p>\n<p>Loyd is now wanted for two murders as well as attempted murder and police are urging people to look out for him as he is considered armed and dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Loyd is not the first person to kill or attempt to kill his pregnant wife or girlfriend. It is becoming all to common for men to kill their pregnant partners\u00a0when\u00a0these women refuse abortion. In fact, the\u00a0legalization of abortion enables these men to force or pressure their partners to abort &#8212; or kill them when they refuse.
