India Kinamore, a 26-year-old African American woman from Colerain, Ohio who was pregnant, was shot and killed inside her home back in March 2023, on the same day she was scheduled to give birth. Prosecutors recently charged three men, including the father of her unborn child, with her murder.
Authorities said the killing was staged to look like a burglary and robbery. On August 21, a grand jury indicted Robert Ervin, 20, Kayvon Warren, 30, and Lamar Morris Suggs, 22, on 13 counts. The charges included aggravated murder, burglary, and felony assault, according to WLBT.
Prosecutors identified Warren as the father of Kinamore’s unborn child. He allegedly pressured her to have an abortion, but was unable to proceed due to Ohio law. Investigators said Warren was also in a relationship with another woman, struggling financially, and had recently lost his home.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich described the crime as a conspiracy. “This should have been one of the happiest days of India’s life,” she said. “Instead, the father of the child conspired with two others to kill her. It is heartbreaking. My office will see that justice is done for both India and her baby.”
Prosecutors alleged the three men planned the killing in advance. They said Warren even requested bereavement leave from his job before Kinamore’s death.
After their arrests, Kinamore’s mother, Terri, expressed relief that progress was made in the case. “Now I am able to come back and tell her that the people that did this to her, they have been caught and justice will be served,” she said.
If convicted, all three men face the possibility of life in prison.
