US EditionA Grieving Family Cares for a Tiny Baby Girl, Delivered After Her 17-Year-Old Mother Was Shot in a Road Rage Incident
Katelynn Strate, 7 months pregnant, was killed in a road rage shooting; her baby, born prematurely at 3 pounds, 11 ounces, is now under family care, police said.
- On Sunday, 17-year-old pregnant mother Katelynn Strate was shot in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, underwent an emergency C-section, and died days later; her baby girl was born Sunday.
- Authorities say Barry West, 54-year-old suspect, has been charged with second-degree murder and three counts of attempted second-degree murder after a road-rage shooting in Louisiana; investigators found he mistakenly believed he was shot at.
- The baby, born Sunday at 3 pounds, 11 ounces, is doing remarkably well, and a GoFundMe for funeral and baby care has raised over $45,000, Katelynn's family said.
- Katelynn's family says the shooting was unprovoked and urges justice, demanding Barry West be charged to the fullest extent of the law, while state and local officials respond to public condemnation.
- A Consumer Affairs report found Louisiana topped the list for road rage for a second year, noting nearly 60% of fatal crashes linked to aggressive or careless driving.
