(WSVN) - A baby has died weeks after he was cut from the womb of a murdered Chicago teenager.
Marlen Ochoa-Lopez’s baby boy Yovani Yadiel Lopez died at 5 a.m. Friday, a family spokesperson told FOX 32.
Yovani had been on life support for several weeks after his condition started deteriorating.
Three people were charged in the case after, prosecutors say, a mother planned for months to acquire a newborn before she and her daughter allegedly strangled Ochoa-Lopez and cut her baby from her womb with a butcher’s knife.
Ochoa-Lopez’s body was found in a garbage bin in the backyard of a home about four miles from her own home.
The 19-year-old had been in the area after being lured to a home in an effort to get free baby clothing she was offered.
The suspects were identified as Clarisa Figueroa, Desiree Figueroa and Piotr Bobak.
Bobak was charged with concealment of a homicide.
