February 7, 2011 (WPVI) — A 21-year-old pregnant woman has died

following a beating outside traffic court in Spring Garden, police say. Authorities say

the incident began just before 2:00 p.m. in the area of 8th and Spring Garden streets

outside Philadelphia Traffic Court. Sources tell Action News the 21-year-old woman

was in court with her boyfriend to retrieve her car which was impounded due to

unpaid parking tickets. When the woman realized she did not have enough money

to get her car back, she left the courtroom to talk to her boyfriend. While leaving the

building, the woman was approached by her ex-boyfriend and four of his friends.

The meeting between the 21-year-old and the ex-boyfriend turned into an argument.

Words were exchanged and then the woman was assaulted. “We saw all these guys

beating this girl and no one tried to help,” witness David Cole said. “She was screaming

for help, ‘stop, please, help me!’” The 21-year-old woman was taken to Hahnemann

Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Following witness’ accounts, Action News

has confirmed that the woman was pregnant. THIS IS THE SADDEST THING I HEARD .....I'M JUST LOST OF WORDS MY PRAYERS GOES OUT TO HER FAMILY AND DAUGHTER ZIGGY
