A Long Beach jury found a man guilty Wednesday of killing a pregnant 21-year-old woman who was carrying their child.
A Long Beach jury deliberated for about two hours Wednesday before finding a man guilty of killing a pregnant 21-year-old woman nearly nine years earlier.Tremaine Lewis, now 32, believed he was the father of Alicia Faith Todd's baby when he fatally shot her during the early morning hours of June 24, 2015. The Signal Hill woman's body was later found in an alleyway between Orange and Lemon avenues, according to Long Beach police.
' Investigators did DNA testing on embyronic material recovered from Todd which showed that it matched Lewis' genetic profile, a match found in 1 in 18 million people, according to Powers. He told jurors that Lewis had a girlfriend at the time and the pregnancy with Todd complicated that relationship.When her body was found, Todd was clutching a pair of keys, suggesting she was planning to return home. Her cell phone was never found, Powers told the jury.
