The Caddo Parish coroner’s office has released the name of the pregnant woman who died following a shooting Sunday night.
Miranda Smith, 30, of Tierra Drive, died at a Shreveport hospital at 11:03 p.m. Her unborn full-term baby boy also perished.
Smith was positively identified by her fingerprints. An autopsy will be performed.
Caddo 911 dispatch records indicate it happened about 9:44 p.m. in the 4200 block of Madera Drive in the LaTierra neighborhood. That’s just west of Pines Road and southwest of Bill Cockrell Park.
That’s where first responders found a crashed vehicle. Inside were Smith and a 31-year-old man, both of whom had been shot multiple times, resulting in the crash.
Both victims were taken to a Shreveport hospital.
“After arriving at Ochsner LSU Health, the female’s injuries elevated to life-threatening and required immediate surgery,” reads a news release. “Due to the severity of her injuries, both the female victim and her unborn child succumbed to the injuries. The exact pregnancy term of the female will be released at a later time. The male is in stable condition.”
