Kaya Netherland was five months pregnant when she was shot five times by her estranged husband. While she survived, her baby tragically did not. Now, the man is charged with attempted murder and feticide.<\/p>\n

Police say Jeremy McBride plotted<\/a> Netherland’s death, planning to kill her and her preborn baby, and then kill himself. McBride allegedly confessed<\/a> to the crime after he was apprehended by police less than one hour after the shooting. He was not at the residence when police arrived, and law enforcement located him through the use of license plate readers.<\/p>\n

Netherland’s neighbor<\/a> found McBride standing over Netherland as she was bleeding on the ground. She had been shot five times in the back and was rushed to the hospital, where it was discovered she was 20 weeks pregnant. She survived, but her baby did not. It is unclear, based on news reports, as to whether it was McBride or the neighbor who called 911.<\/p>\n

The Root noted<\/a> that “In several handwritten notes recovered by police, McBride is said to have expressed his frustrations with his wife\u2019s alleged infidelity and suspicions of her unborn child not belonging to him.”<\/p>\n
