Kyla O’Neal

A Minneapolis family is grappling with an unimaginable tragedy. 

A pregnant mother was shot and killed Sunday, just days before she was due to deliver a baby boy.

Doctors successfully delivered Kyla O'Neal's baby, and that newborn is clinging to life.

"I need him to pull through this," said Katina O'Neal, Kyla's mother. "I want him to. I can't lose both of them, not right now, no."

Police say Kyla O'Neal was shot in the parking lot of the Amazon warehouse in Lakeville. She died at the hospital where her son, Messiah, was born.
"He lost a lot of oxygen to the brain, so he has no brain functioning right now," Katina said. "I'm holding onto faith. I'm praying. God got the last word, so hopefully He gives him to me."

Messiah and his three siblings are now without a mother, who the family says was driven, outspoken and good at whatever she put her mind to.
