From CBS Minnesota:
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Prosecutors have charged a Minneapolis man with fatally shooting a pregnant woman whose baby was delivered at a hospital.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said Wednesday that Zachary Robinson, 27, was charged with second-degree murder, second-degree assault and being a felon in possession of a gun. An arrest warrant has been issued, and police are looking for Robinson.
According to the complaint, police were called to a shooting in south Minneapolis on Sunday night and found 27-year-old Leneesha Columbus outside a shot-up Ford Explorer. Columbus died at a hospital but doctors were able to deliver her baby, although the baby is in critical condition, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said. Robinson was the baby’s father, the complaint said.
Witnesses told police they saw Robinson and Columbus arguing near her Explorer in a parking lot. As Columbus started to drive away, Robinson fired several shots at the SUV and then returned to the parking lot while putting the gun in his waistband.
When a man confronted Robinson in the parking lot and asked him what he was doing, Robinson pulled the handgun from his waistband and shot the man in his right foot, according to the complaint.
Robinson has a history of felony assaults dating to 2009 and is barred from possessing any firearms or ammunition, prosecutors said.

Thoughts? Based on the above article's posting date, Robinson was still at large at least as of July 8th, 2020. Also, one thing annoying me is some articles mentioning Robinson allegedly shot Leneesha Columbus near the George Floyd memorial site. That has absolutely nothing to do with this case. I realize I'm bringing it up also but it is unavoidable if you Google this case, so I felt like I had no choice but to make a preemptive strike. I hope there is justice for George Floyd just like I hope there is justice for Leneesha. I really despise Zachary Robinson for allegedly shooting and killing and innocent woman, nearly killing an unborn child, and depriving that child of his mother for the rest of their life, and those are the only reasons I don't like him.
Finally, articles don't give a specific number to call for tips if you have any information on Robinson's whereabouts, so for now I'd recommend 911 or your local Crime Stoppers line.
