ATLANTA — Nearly six months after an expectant mother was shot and her unborn child died, police have made an arrest.

In December, two people were shot on Interstate 285 southbound and Cascade Road, including a 21-year-old man and an 18-year-old expectant mother.

Both were taken to the hospital, where they learned the woman’s unborn child had also been shot and died from her injuries.
