In a tragic case unfolding in Ohio, a pregnant woman was allegedly murdered by acquaintances of her ex-boyfriend just hours before she was set to undergo induced labor. The chilling incident, according to prosecutors, took place while she was asleep, under the directive of her former partner.

Prosecutors from Hamilton County have accused Kayvon Warren of orchestrating the fatal shooting of India Kinamore, who was carrying his child. “India Kinamore was pregnant with Warren’s baby, a baby he did not want,” prosecutors stated in documents recently obtained by local Fox affiliate WXIX. They allege that while Kinamore was asleep, Warren’s associates entered her home and shot her, resulting in the death of both her and her unborn child.

Kinematic developments in the case reveal that Warren, 30, allegedly sought bereavement leave from work prior to involving his cousin, Robert Ervin, 20, and friend, Lamar Morris Suggs, 22, in the murder on March 4, 2023, in Colerain Township. The charges against him include aggravated murder and burglary.

Newly released court documents indicate that Kinamore was asleep when the attack occurred. Warren, Ervin, and Suggs are suspected of attempting to disguise the murder as a burglary. Reports from local CBS affiliate WKRC suggest that Warren was in financial distress, on the verge of losing his home, and involved with another woman at the time of the crime.

Warren, Ervin and Suggs are accused of staging Kinamore’s death to look like a burglary, with Warren allegedly being desperate for money and about to lose his home while being in a relationship with another woman, according to local CBS affiliate WKRC.

Prosecutors say Warren had asked her to terminate her pregnancy and she allegedly refused, instead choosing to keep the child. When the day came that she was scheduled to be induced — March 4, 2023 — Warren and his alleged accomplices set upon the mother-to-be while she was home with her 6-year-old son, who found her dying.

“This should have been one of the happiest days of India’s life,” Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich said in a statement announcing Warren’s charges, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.

“Instead, the father of the child conspired with two others to kill her,” Pillich alleged. “It is heartbreaking. My office will see that justice is done for both India and her baby.”

Warren and the others were allegedly in a group chat together and spoke about meeting up that night to murder Kinamore and her unborn child before she could give birth later that day, according to prosecutors. Pillich said Warren’s alleged request for bereavement leave shows the premeditated nature of his crimes, per the Enquirer.

Officers responded to 2369 Hiddenmeadows Drive at around 4:40 a.m. the day Kinamore was killed and found her suffering from a fatal gunshot wound. Her 6-year-old son stumbled upon the expectant mother and called his grandmother, saying “My mommy has been shot,” according to family members.

The Colerain Township Police Department announced Warren’s arrest, along with the others, in a press release on Aug. 21.

Warren, Ervin and Suggs have each been charged with aggravated murder, felonious assault, and burglary. Suggs has been locked up in an Ohio prison for unrelated charges.

“I thought that Kayvon was a nice, upstanding gentleman and he turned out to be the complete opposite,” Terri Kinamore, India’s mother, told Fox affiliate WXIX. “A monster, because only a monster would do something like that.”
