Newborn delivered by emergency csection after teen mom was fatally shot in Bay Park has died
Jun 07, 2026
A baby delivered by emergency c-section after the child’s teen mother was shot and killed in a Bay Park shooting in May has died, the San Diego Police Department said Sunday.
The infant died after suffering a severe hypoxic brain injury, according to SDPD.
The child’s mother, a 17-year-ol
d girl who has been identified as Jariah E. from Arizona, was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the head on May 30 near the 4900 block of Gardena Avenue, police said. She was taken to a local hospital where she died after the baby was delivered.
The child was in critical condition with minimal brain activity, SDPD shared in their initial press release.
The victim’s boyfriend, 21-year-old, Trevon Williams was arrested and charged with capital murder charges last week in San Diego.
Investigators say the victim and several family members were visiting San Diego from Arizona and staying in a short-term vacation rental.
“The victim’s 21-year-old boyfriend, also from Arizona, had traveled to San Diego separately and met up with the victim outside the rental, where he shot her,” police said, adding the suspect then fled on foot to a nearby canyon. He was taken into custody a few hours later, and a semi-automatic handgun allegedly was recovered at the time of his arrest.
During a court hearing last week, prosecutors said the victim and suspect started dating in September 2025. They said the two had an on-and-off relationship that was filled with domestic violence as well as violent threats to the victim and the pair’s unborn child.
