Sunday night’s violence ended a brutal weekend for Philadelphia, with at least 36 people shot — and five killed — Friday night through Sunday, including the 14 victims of the mass shooting on South Street.
Among those killed over the weekend was 19-year-old Matayah Haynes, who was identified by authorities Monday morning.
Haynes, who lived in Camden, was 34 weeks pregnant when she was shot in the head at around 1:15 a.m. Saturday at the corner of Richmond Street and Wheatsheaf Lane in Port Richmond.
Police said doctors were able to deliver her baby boy, but he remains hospitalized in serious condition.
No one has been arrested in connection with Haynes’s homicide.
