Emoni House, 20, was shot and killed on November 3, 2016, in Chicago’s South Chicago neighborhood. She was pregnant. Her 16-year-old brother, Elijah House, was also killed in the same incident.

The shooter was identified as her 19-year-old boyfriend, Darryl Bitedown Benton-Harris. An argument between Benton-Harris and Elijah escalated; Benton-Harris went to his vehicle, retrieved a firearm, returned to a basement where family and friends had gathered, and shot Elijah first. Emoni was then shot as she tried to flee. Their mother, who tried to intervene, was shot multiple times but survived by playing dead. A family friend was injured; the children in the house were not harmed.

Benton-Harris was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Emoni was remembered by family as kind and vibrant. Can anyone who knew Emoni or witnessed events that night share information that could help clarify what happened?
