A pregnant 17-year-old girl died after she was shot in the head on Tuesday night, but her baby boy survived the attack.
The boy remained in critical condition Wednesday afternoon at Advocate Christ Medical Centre in Oak Lawn, Chicago, where his mother, Charinez Jefferson, was earlier pronounced dead.
She suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.
