A Chicago woman has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for her involvement in a horrific crime that shocked the nation. The woman, now 29 years old, pleaded guilty to murder for her role in the killing of a pregnant teenager in 2019. The victim, a 19-year-old named Marlen Ochoa-Lopez, was lured to the perpetrator's home under the false pretense of receiving free clothing for her unborn child.

The perpetrator, along with her daughter, strangled Ochoa-Lopez with a cable before cutting the baby from her womb using a butcher knife. The baby tragically died two months later. The daughter, who expressed remorse during her sentencing, admitted to assisting her mother in the gruesome act.
