21 year old pregnant woman killed drug dealer boyfriend used her as a shield

A young pregnant woman killed in a shootout between a suspected drug dealer and Florida police died by gunfire from officers, not the suspect, according to officials.
“Unfortunately, one of the rounds fired by a swat team member struck an innocent person that Andrew Coffee IV cowardly was using as protection … while firing on law enforcement officers,” Indian River County Sheriff Deryl Loar said.
The victim has been identified as 21-year-old Alteria Woods. She was four months pregnant. Coffee – Woods’ boyfriend and the father of her unborn child – was not injured, police said.
The incident unfolded shortly before 6 a.m. on Sunday, when police executed a search warrant at a “known drug house” in Gifford. Police said Coffee, 23, fired on officers as they attempted to enter the residence through a bedroom window. Loar described the shooting as “ambush style.” Via huffpost

More than a rapper, she is a true visionary. The Decatur native started off at an early age making a deep connection with lyrics. She also has a strong bond with the Zone 6 area of Atlanta, from her music to her views on life. At the age of 6 her great grandmother made her perform at her daughter’s restaurant opening, and that would set the stage for her future. She told ReeMarkable that she had a gift. One that surpasses songs, she had the gift to transform others just by her presence. That night as a nervous child repeated the same lyrics over and over, she noticed how in touch the audience seemed to be. ReeMarkable knew from that point on that what her great grandmother told her was correct. Since then she has used her passion to continue to help impact anyone she comes in contact with.
