Compassionate family gathers around wonder-baby delivered through emergency cesarean, while his mother remains critically ill on life support following a chaotic road rage incident
In a shocking turn of events, a 17-year-old girl named Katelynn Strate lost her life in a road rage incident in Louisiana last Sunday. Strate was driving with her boyfriend and his sister when they encountered 54-year-old Barry West, who was driving erratically and repeatedly brake-checked and tailgated Strate's car.
The incident escalated when West allegedly fired his gun, lodging it in Strate's skull. Strate was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support, but unfortunately, her life support was later switched off, and her organs were donated.
West has been charged with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of attempted second-degree murder, and other lesser charges. Police have found no evidence to support West's claim that Strate's car fired at him first.
Strate's family has chosen not to share the baby's name for her own privacy. The family is devastated by the loss and has demanded that West receive no plea deal as they seek justice for her senseless death.
Before her tragic demise, Strate and her boyfriend had been expecting a little girl. A gender reveal party was held, and the joyous occasion was marred by the subsequent events. More than $50,000 has been raised on GoFundMe to take care of the baby.
The baby girl was delivered by medical teams, seven months gestation and weighing three pounds, 11 ounces. Miraculously, she is reportedly doing well and in good health.
The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office has shared West's mugshot on Facebook, and since then, they have received numerous messages from citizens claiming they had similar encounters with West on the roads. Police are still investigating these unverified claims.
As the community mourns the loss of Katelynn Strate, they stand in solidarity with her family, seeking justice and peace in this difficult time.
