ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — Authorities say that the 18-year-old who was shot and killed in St. Paul over the weekend was pregnant at the time of the shooting, and her unborn child was also killed as a result.
It happened Friday night in the 1900 block of Cottage Avenue East in St. Paul.
Police say that they found the victim shot dead inside of a home. She was identified on Monday as Eileen Viveros-Vargas, of Landfall.
Police said she had been shot in the head.
One person has been arrested in the shooting.
Police said they found 19-year-old Luis Isaac Chacon-Villeda trying to perform CPR on Viveros-Vargas at the scene.

A criminal complaint says that marijuana was found in the home, along with a scale, cash and a handgun. Chacon-Villeda admitted that the marijuana was his and that he has sold it in that neighborhood.
So by adding the part about there being marijuana in the apartment are we now implying that marijuana makes people murder? C’mon. We all know that’s a BIG reach.
