Delashon Jefferson was 21 and eight months pregnant when she was fatally shot on September 23, 2018, at the couple’s home on Marburg Street in Dallas, Texas. A confrontation with her common-law husband, 25-year-old Lagarius Donnell Rainey, began as an argument over alleged infidelity and escalated into a physical assault. Family members who entered to intervene were met with gunfire; Jefferson was struck in the back, collapsed outside the bedroom, and later died at a hospital. Doctors performed an emergency C-section and the baby survived.

Rainey was arrested near the scene and charged with murder; an arrest affidavit says he admitted to shooting Jefferson and her brother-in-law, Daveron Sanders, who was also injured. Rainey told police he acted in self-defense, a claim family members dispute, saying he pulled out a weapon as they entered to stop the assault. Jefferson’s mother, Sharon, described her daughter as kind and devoted and has taken on raising Delashon’s children.

Does anyone have information about the incident or knew Delashon that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
