On September 7, lives were changed forever after Maryiah Coleman was killed while walking her dog.
Today, police say they have charged the men responsible.
On that night, police say three men were robbing an acquaintance of guns and other items when he tried to escape.
Gunshots were fired, and one of them hit Maryiah Coleman, who was only one month from meeting her unborn son, Jakobe.
“There are so many lives that are impacted by Maryiah and Jakobe’s death. Not just my family, but Jakobe’s fathers family as well,” said Tamara Coleman, Maryiah’s mother.

Freeman was shot five times during the attempted robbery and was hospitalized. Boaz turned himself a few days later, and Fain was arrested in Mason County a month later.
They were still in jail when they were charged with Maryiah’s murder, and fetal homicide for Jakobe.
“I’m very happy that they have the people responsible for Maryiah and Jakobe’s death. But at the same time, it just hurts to know that she’s not here,” said Coleman.
Coleman feels like this is just one step in the road to justice for her daughter and grandson, and has a message for the people who cause pain for so many families.
“If you’re out here in these streets, and you’re doing things you have no business of doing, now is the time to leave. Don’t continue down a path of destruction,” said Coleman.
