Pregnant Woman Shot & Killed After Leaving A Restaurant With Friends In Mississippi

A pregnant woman and her unborn baby both died after the mother was shot and killed while leaving a bar with friends.

According to WAPT, Ayairia Anderson and her friends were out Saturday night at Soop’s Bar and Grill in Jackson, MS when a fight erupted inside the building.

Many people, including Ayairia, frantically left the scene when shots rang out in the parking lot. According to the aunt of the victim, Katina Eggleston, Ayairia got into her car and tried to leave the club, but was caught in the crossfire and suffered gunshot wounds to her head and neck.

She ended up crashing her vehicle at the end of a ramp to get onto the interstate. Her friends tried to revive her on the scene until 911 showed up and rushed her to the hospital.

She was placed on life support and the doctors performed an emergency c-section to save her and the baby, but both unfortunately passed away. Police are still currently looking for the shooter and asking the community if they know anything to please report it.

“We want people that know something. Anybody that knows anything about what happened that night,” said Anderson’s aunt, Katina Eggleston. “We’re not going to stop until we find out who done it. We’re going to do everything in our power to get justice for my baby and my sister’s baby.”

“This was a very senseless crime,” Eggleston said. “All the shooting at these young people — just guns, period. They need to do something about this in Jackson and around the world everywhere.”
