Marlazia Jones-Mattox, a 21-year-old woman from Columbus, Ohio, was shot and killed on January 1, 2018, while nine months pregnant. The attack happened at the couple’s home on South Hague Avenue in the Hilltop neighborhood during a robbery aimed at her fiancé, Keith Williams. Three people—identified as Mario Wade, Christian Dillon, and a 15-year-old—forced their way into the residence intending to rob Williams.

As Wade and Dillon were leaving, Marlazia attempted to escape through a window and was shot five times in the back at close range by Dillon. She was taken to Mount Carmel West Hospital, where doctors delivered her baby boy; the child later suffered cerebral palsy attributed to lack of oxygen. Wade and Dillon were later convicted and given long prison terms; a fourth person, Alianna Royster, who drove the perpetrators to the scene, was charged with aggravated robbery.

Does anyone have additional details about the night on South Hague Avenue or knew Marlazia and her family?
