PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Police appear to be getting closer to an arrest for the killing of a pregnant woman and her unborn child in Lawncrest, in Northeast Philadelphia, on Saturday night.
Jessica Covington, 32, had just gotten home from her baby shower and was unloading gifts when someone shot her in the head and stomach.
Jivonna Taggert was among the friends and family who gathered Monday night to remember Covington.
"I'm really torn, and I don't really understand why something like this would happen to her," Taggert said.
