BLM Calls for Justice for Ma’Khia Bryant but Not for a Pregnant Black Teenager Gunned Down the Same Day

An 18-year-old pregnant black woman, J’Lyn Quinones, was fatally shot on the same day as Ma’Khia Bryant, but her story did not garner the same attention and outrage from Black Lives Matter activists.

“I know that J’Lyn was strong because her last act of strength on this earth was to ensure that her daughter was born,” said one mourner at a vigil that was held in honor of Quinones.

Quinones was crossing the street in Capitol Heights, Maryland, Tuesday during the day when she and another woman were shot. While doctors were able to save her baby during an emergency surgery, Quinones later died of her wounds.

One of the suspects in the case, 22-year-old Michael Johnson, is believed to be the father of the baby Quinones was carrying when she was killed. Johnson and another suspect were charged with accessory after first-degree murder for allegedly helping a third suspect, 21-year-old Malik Johnson, evade arrest after the shooting.

“Violence has increased in Prince George’s County and in Washington, D.C. And we have to do something about it, especially on young women,” Quinones’s mother said at the vigil.
