In the early morning hours of October 25, 2024, 19-year-old Aieron Thomas was found unresponsive in her Amite, Louisiana home on Bankston Road. Deputies discovered that she had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. Thomas was 13 weeks pregnant at the time.

Investigators focused on her live-in boyfriend, 22-year-old Demarcus Womack. During questioning, Womack admitted to shooting Thomas and to attempting to conceal the weapon; officers recovered the gun after he revealed where it had been buried. Womack was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, second-degree feticide, and obstruction of justice.

Aieron’s mother, Veronica Thomas, described her daughter as beautiful, smart, and independent, and said Aieron had been excited about becoming a mother. Does anyone who knew Aieron or who was in Amite that morning have information to share?
