A man from Georgia has been sentenced to life in prison for the tragic shooting and killing of his pregnant girlfriend and their infant daughter, who survived just four months after birth.

On Friday, a jury found Diamonte Haithcoats, aged 24, guilty on several charges including malice murder, two counts of felony murder, aggravated assault involving family violence, and possessing a firearm during a felony. The victims were 20-year-old Shaniyah Rodriguez and their baby Milliani Rodriguez, according to a press release by the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office.

Following the jury’s decision, Dekalb County Superior Court Judge Yolanda Parker-Smith handed down two life sentences to Haithcoats, without the possibility of parole, as announced by the DA.

Deputies with the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shooting around 5:45 a.m. Feb. 2, 2023, at a condominium complex on Old Singleton Lane in the Atlanta suburb of Clarkston. A resident heard gunfire and went out to investigate. He found a woman later identified as Rodriguez suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.

Paramedics arrived and rushed Rodriguez to the hospital, where doctors performed an emergency cesarean section to deliver her baby. Rodriguez died two days later. Milliani died on June 19, 2023.

Investigators found seven rifle shell casings on the scene, and the witness said he saw a dark-colored SUV driving away after the shooting. Street cameras captured a dark blue Hyundai Palisade leaving the complex. Days later, they found the abandoned Palisade. It had been stolen.

Rodriguez’s phone had been connected to the vehicle’s Bluetooth just minutes before the 911 call, prosecutors said. Detectives turned on her phone and it automatically connected to the Palisade.

Detectives later learned Rodriguez told a friend her relationship with Haithcoats was falling apart and she feared for his safety. They also placed Haithcoats at the scene via his cellphone.

Adrienne Rodriguez, Shaniyah Rodriguez’s mother and Millani’s grandmother, testified at the trial, according to a courtroom report from Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB.
