Carrasco was found to have caused the death of a fetus\/person under 10 years of age after he assaulted a woman, who was his significant other, during an altercation on May 20.

He was arrested following the incident for various family violence crimes and released on bond, but then fled the area. When the death of the preborn child was confirmed, a charge of attempted capital murder was filed and an additional warrant was issued; United States Marshals Service-Lone Star Fugitive Task Force were instrumental in finding Carrasco and arresting him.<\/p>\n<p>The Karnes County Grand Jury has indicted Carrasco on a number of charges, including attempted capital murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (two counts), assault\/family violence-impeding breath\/circulation, and assault against a pregnant woman. The case will be forwarded to the 81st Judicial District Attorney\u2019s Office for prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>Though the mother survived her assault, domestic violence and homicide are one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bmjgroup.com\/homicide-is-a-leading-cause-of-death-in-pregnant-women-in-the-us\/#:~:text=Women%20in%20the%20US%20are,experts%20in%20The%20BMJ%20today.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leading dangers<\/a> to pregnant women.
