Baby survives after pregnant woman dies from gunshot wound, Baytown police say – Toys Matrix

BAYTOWN, Texas – A baby survived after a 23-year-old woman who had been pregnant with the child died from a gunshot wound to the head Monday in Baytown, officials said.

“When I came out here and I saw them take a gurney in there I was like, ‘Hmm, no,’ I had to go inside because I knew they were going to bring someone out and it was a woman and she was about 7 months pregnant and she was showing,” said the pregnant woman’s neighbor, Ronni Moore.

Baytown police said the woman — identified as Dominique Million — was taken to Memorial Hermann via Life Flight, but succumbed to her injuries and the baby girl she was carrying was successfully delivered via c-section. The baby is recovering at Texas Children’s Hospital.

Police are searching for three people of interest in the Tuesday shooting.

The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Brixton Apartments on Garth Road near Park Street, according to the Baytown Police Department.

Police said they responded to a call about shots being fired at the apartment complex. Previously investigators said people inside two vehicles were involved in an exchange of gunfire and that one of bullets entered a nearby apartment, striking Million in the head as she was inside her apartment. Detectives say they learned that a 20-year-old man was also shot in the back as he stood outside the apartment. He was taken to Memorial-Hermann Hospital and underwent a successful surgery.

Investigators later determined that Million’s apartment was targeted, but do not know if she was the intended target, according to Baytown detectives.

A neighbor told KPRC 2 that he saw two men who also live at the home in the front yard. Those men had an argument with a third man.
