Lakeland Police Say Murder Suspect Killed Pregnant Mom

LAKELAND -- Police have arrested the man they say shot a pregnant woman in her home as her three small children were nearby, back in July.

25-year-old Jecarie Moore, described as the estranged boyfriend of Jeannie Domingue, is facing murder and other charges. Police chief Ruben Garcia says his detectives have worked "tirelessly" to bring some closure for the family. They executed at least 15 search warrants, including on a car and electronic devices.

Police say it appears Moore believed Dominguez had something to do with a break-in at his house, and went to confront her. There's no evidence she had anything to do with it. Her three kids, all under the age of 8, were there when it happened, and police now say Dominguez was 5 to 7 months pregnant when she was shot.
