Jazmyne Lawson was 18 and five and a half months pregnant when she was killed in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 21, 2019.

The other victims named in the case were Aiyanna Quitman, 19; Dejuan Damar Willis, 20; and Christopher Monroe, 23.

Investigators say the shooter approached the group inside the home and fired multiple times as the victims lay on the floor. The investigation involved the Cleveland Homicide Initiative and federal and state partners. Reported evidence tying a suspect to the scene included DNA and gun tool mark analysis.
