Charges have been filed in a shooting earlier this week outside a Pleasant Grove store that ended in the death of an unborn baby girl.

Pleasant Grove police on Thursday announced the charge against 23-year-old Ebony Jemison. Though police said they initially planned to charge her with murder, Lt. Danny Reid said they amended the charge to manslaughter.

“The investigation showed that the only true victim in this was the unborn baby,’’ Reid said. “It was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby.”

The shooting happened about noon outside Dollar General on Park Road. Officers were dispatched to the scene on a report of someone shot but arrived to find the victim had been picked up and driven to Fairfield. Police and paramedics then found the victim – 27-year-old Marshae Jones - at a Fairfield convenience store.

From Fairfield Jones was taken to UAB Hospital. She was five months pregnant and was shot in the stomach. The unborn baby did not survive the shooting, but Jones is recovering.

Police obtained the warrant against Jemison Thursday morning. She will be transferred from the Pleasant Grove City Jail to the Jefferson County Jail where she will be held on $30,000 bond.

Reid said “the mother’s involvement and culpability will be presented to a grand jury” to determine if she also will be charged in the incident.

He said the fight stemmed over the unborn baby’s father. “When a 5-month pregnant woman initiates a fight and attacks another person, I believe some responsibility lies with her as to any injury to her unborn child,’’ Reid said. “That child is dependent on its mother to try to keep it from harm, and she shouldn’t seek out unnecessary physical altercations.”
