Investigators say that she was kicked and punched during a fight outside of traffic court. She was taken to the hospital where she later died of blunt impact trauma to the neck. She was 4-months pregnant.
Williams is charged with murder. Investigators say that a feud between Williams and Owens’ brother is what led to the attack.
