Officers found Terrell and Stewart on the ground with gunshot wounds and rushed them to the hospital. On Tuesday Terrell, who was pregnant, died from her injuries. Stewart is recovering at home. The baby remains in critical condition.

Mitchell was arrested the next day and is being held in lieu of $1.5 million bond. He was initially charged with three counts of attempted murder, but police officials say one of those counts has been changed to criminal homicide following Terrell's death.
