Slain shooting victim was pregnant, coroner confirms
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - News 12 has learned that a mother of four who was slain in a quadruple shooting last week was also a mother-to-be.
Tishaa Moulton’s autopsy showed she died of a gunshot wound to the chest and was in the early stages of pregnancy, Richmond County Coroner Mark Bowen said Thursday.
The news came on the day after friends and family held a balloon release in honor of her.
A suspect in the shooting is Moulton’s brother, Tyler Prather.
Another man was arrested, but authorities said Friday they’d dropped the charges against him after they learned he was not involved — although deputies are still looking for an unnamed other suspect.
Moulton was killed along with Latoya Oglesby in a gun attack last Thursday that left two other women injured at an apartment complex at 201 E. Telfair St.
Oglesby died from multiple gunshot wounds, Bowen said Thursday.
The shooting was part of a wave of violent crimes that swept the CSRA, leaving two people dead, eight people shot and one person stabbed within 12 hours.
