Woman shot by Oklahoma City police officer may have been pregnant

The woman fatally shot by Oklahoma City police Wednesday evening may have been pregnant, according to her online profile.

Karen Cifuentes, 19, died after being shot about 6:15 p.m. near Melrose Lane and Rockwell Avenue, police said.

Cifuentes was driving a car that police said hit Sgt. Jeran Stevens, an eight-year police veteran, before he fired his gun and fatally wounded her. Police said they were investigating an illegal drug transaction before the shooting took place.

Police arrested Juan Aguilera Perez, 24, of Oklahoma City, on a murder complaint because he was in the car with Cifuentes when she was fatally shot. Perez also was arrested on a complaint of possession of a controlled and dangerous substance with intent to distribute, according to a news release from police.
