A shooting occurred early Tuesday morning in north Leon County, leaving one pregnant woman, Kaydens Muvah, and her unborn child dead and a man behind bars, according to the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.
The suspect, 22-year-old Jha’kari Martin-Sugrin, is now in custody and faces two counts of manslaughter and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on River Breeze Lane, where Martin-Sugrin reportedly got into an argument with the victim at their home.
Two children were also present at the time. According to arrest papers, Martin-Sugrin was gathering his belongings when the firearm discharged, striking Kaydens Muvah.
He transported her to a local hospital, where both she and her unborn child succumbed to their injuries.

He told investigators the victim was approximately two months pregnant.
The investigation remains active, and further details are expected to emerge as authorities continue to gather information.
