More than two weeks after a pregnant mother-of-four was found shot to death inside her wrecked car in Pittsburgh, the father of one of the victim's children has been charged with the killing.
An arrest warrant was issued on Thursday for 24-year-old Jason Brown, charging him with criminal homicide and carrying firearms without a license.
Brown, who is currently jailed on unrelated charges, is accused of shooting and killing 22-year-old Katara Bray while riding in her car as a passenger on February 8.
On the day of the shooting, Bray found out she was pregnant. She has other children, including one with Brown. She did not want this child to be Brown’s, police said.
At the time of the shooting that night, police were told that a man was seen running from the car. Investigators found the passenger door open and evidence suggesting a gunshot was fired from inside the car, the complaint said.
Someone reported seeing Brown and Bray together and getting into the car on the night of the shooting, investigators said. A fingerprint on the passenger side door matched Brown’s, and his cellphone was found in the car, along with hospital discharge paperwork with his name on it. The passenger airbag had also gone off, indicating someone had been sitting there.
