Mom murdered beside 5-year-old son and boyfriend texted suspect's name as she lay dying: cops
Briefly

An Alabama mother, Arkia 'Kia' Berry, was murdered alongside her 5-year-old son and boyfriend in a shooting incident. Before her death, she texted a friend naming her alleged killer, Jacorian Deshawn McGregor, who has since been charged with capital murder. Detectives found evidence linking the victims and suspect, including previous communication and search history. The investigation also involves a stolen vehicle set ablaze shortly after the shooting, suggesting a possible interaction between the two parties before the incident occurred.
"Jaco" - the nickname of Jacorian Deshawn McGregor, the man now charged with capital murder for the triple slaying last July, police told a preliminary hearing Thursday.
"We believe some sort of interaction took place between the occupants of the victims' vehicle and the suspects' vehicle," police officer Truman Fitzgerald had previously told the outlet.
Detective Jarvelius Tollivero said, 'She texted his name right before she died,' regarding the critical message sent by the victim.
Police initially received a 911 call about a car accident in the Echo Highlands neighborhood of Birmingham, leading them to the three bodies in the car.
