Family seeks answers in woman, unborn child’s 2011 murder
It was April 26, 2011, and Arkita Stevenson was excited, her family says. She was getting ready to give birth and he’d just been to Jackson Hospital. But she wouldn’t deliver her baby.
According to police, Arkita Stevenson, 19 years old and 36 weeks pregnant, had been shot and killed. Her baby also died in the attack. Her body was abandoned in Montgomery on West Fleming Road.'
Qunita Stevenson, Arkita’s older sister, said that the day before her death, Arkita took a trip to Jackson Hospital because she wasn’t feeling well and was worried about the baby. They told her to come back the following day to get induced.
“The day before, she was admitted in a room and everything and then they decided to let her go late that evening,” Qunita Stevenson said, “I told her that she needed to be back at 6′ o clock in the morning, but unfortunately, she didn’t make it. They found her that morning.”
'Qunita, their siblings, and the entire family instantly had questions. They were scared, shocked, and just in overall disbelief. What happened? Was she the victim of a random violent crime, or was she targeted by someone who didn’t want her to deliver the baby? These questions, years later, haunt this family, especially since no one has been arrested in this case.'
