Son Discovers Pregnant Mother Deceased; Child’s Father and Friends Face Charges: District Attorney

A pregnant woman from Ohio was fatally shot by her child’s father and two of his alleged accomplices just hours before she was supposed to undergo induced labor, as reported by the police.

According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, Kayvon Warren, 30, allegedly asked India Kinamore, 26, to end the pregnancy and later recruited Robert Ervin, 20, and Lamar Morris Suggs, 22, to assist in her murder on March 4, 2023, in Hamilton County.

Prosecutors stated in court on Friday that the men communicated via a group chat and allegedly conspired that night to kill Kinamore and her unborn child before she could deliver the baby later on. Their arrests were announced by the Colerain Township Police Department in a press release on Thursday.

At around 4:40 a.m. on the day Kinamore was shot, officers arrived at 2369 Hiddenmeadows Drive and found her with a deadly gunshot wound. Her 6-year-old son discovered her and called his grandmother, telling her: “My mommy has been shot,” as per family accounts.

Warren, Ervin, and Suggs have each been charged with two counts of murder, according to court documents. Warren and Ervin are being held on $600,000 bonds set during their arraignment on Friday; Suggs is currently in an Ohio prison for unrelated offenses and has yet to appear in court for the Kinamore murder case.

“My daughter can’t come back,” said Terri Kinamore, India’s mother, in an interview with the Enquirer after Warren and Ervin were granted bond. “I just don’t think it’s fair, at all,” she told the local newspaper.

Ervin’s lawyer, Robert Jones, told the court Friday that the young man “has no ties to this case” and “no ties to the deceased.” Prosecutors say digital evidence shows the three men allegedly planned and carried out the shooting together.

Warren and Ervin were still behind bars over the weekend. They will be required to wear ankle monitors if they post bond.
