Move over Florida Man... Alabama Woman charged in fetus' death after being shot in stomach

An Alabama woman was shot in the stomach last year and lost her pregnancy. Now, the shooter has gone free, and the woman has been indicted for manslaughter in the fetus' death because police say she was at fault for initiating the shooting.

Marshae Jones, 27, was charged Wednesday and taken into custody on a $50,000 bond, Jefferson County authorities said.

Jones was five months pregnant when 23-year-old Ebony Jemison shot her in the stomach during a December 2018 altercation regarding the fetus' father, Alabama news station WBMA-LD reported at the time.

Police initially charged Jemison with manslaughter, but the charge was dismissed after the grand jury failed to indict her, according to AL.com and WBMA-LD.
