A Loganville teenager, seven months pregnant, was found dead in the woods this summer. Now, the details of her death have emerged, and her ex-boyfriend faces murder charges.
📰 What’s Happening: The autopsy report revealed that 16-year-old Mia Campos died from asphyxia caused by neck compression. Police arrested her ex-boyfriend, Jesus Monroy, initially for giving false information to police, but his charges have since escalated.
- Monroy is now facing multiple serious charges, including malice murder, felony murder, feticide, and aggravated assault.
- Campos was last seen on July 14, just hours before her family found her body two minutes from their home using a cell phone tracking app.
🕵️ Between the Lines: Campos’ family had searched alongside Monroy, unaware that he would later become the prime suspect. Her father, Eduardo Campos, voiced suspicion early on, noting Monroy’s lack of emotional response.
- Monroy has since been released on a $50,000 bond, with strict conditions including home confinement and the wearing of an ankle monitor.
🗂️ Domestic Violence Stats: A study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that between 2003 and 2014, about 55% of all female homicides in the U.S. were related to intimate partner violence.
