Pregnant Woman Shot To Death In Liberty City (VIDEO)

WATCH: Pregnant Woman Shot To Death

Miami police seek a suspect who fatally shot a pregnant woman in Liberty City Monday night.

Shots rang out at 8 p.m. on Northwest 53rd Street and 12th Avenue, according to WSVN, as witnesses watched the pregnant woman collapse in a driveway.

"When I opened the door, that's when I saw her at this gate back here and she was holding on and her body just hit the floor, lifeless," witness Tedarious Washington said.

Neighbors applied pressure to the woman's wounds before medics arrived, but she later died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, the Associated Press reports.

Police estimate that she was in her late 30s and was likely the victim of crossfire.

No information about the gunman is known although witnesses told police they saw a dark colored car speed away from the scene, NBC6 reports.

One witness and friend of the victim told Local 10 that she believes the shooter was somehow connected with the victim's teenage son.

Police found more than a dozen shell casings at the scene.

This is just the latest in a string of expectant mothers injured in neighborhood gun violence.

Just last month, another pregnant woman was shot in apparent crossfire in Overtown.

In a separate incident, a pregnant woman and her unborn baby were killed in a drive-by shooting in Miami Gardens in June.
