AMITE — A man was arrested for murder after the shooting death of his pregnant girlfriend, according to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office.
Demarcus Womack, 22, was booked for one count each of second-degree murder, second-degree murder (feticide) and obstruction of justice.
According to TPSO, deputies went to a home on Bankston Road in Amite around 7 a.m. after a 19-year-old was found unresponsive. Deputies located Aieron Thomas, who was 13 weeks pregnant, shot in the chest. She died as a result.
Deputies say Womack was Thomas' live-in boyfriend, and said he admitted to the shooting as well as hiding evidence.
