Pregnant teen shot in road rage incident dies saving baby, becomes ‘donor hero’ as organs help others

A 17-year-old pregnant teenager has died after being shot in the head during a road rage incident in Louisiana, but her death has brought life to others through organ donation. Katelynn Strate of Ponchatoula was seven months pregnant when she was fatally wounded on Sunday morning while riding as a passenger in an SUV.

The shooting occurred around 9 a.m. on North Hoover Road near Ponchatoula when Barry West, 54, of Tickfaw, allegedly fired one round from his silver Dodge truck into the Ford Expedition carrying Strate and two other people. The two vehicles had been tailgating and brake-checking each other before West opened fire, according to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, as per Fox News.
