Pregnant Woman & Unborn Child Fatally Stabbed By Lyft Passenger -- Who Then Stole Her Car

Pregnant Lyft Driver Murdered

This is just unfathomable.
According to the Tempe Police Department, Arizona Lyft driver Kristina Howato took a request from the app around 1 a.m. on Sunday morning. It would be her last.
Just after she arrived at the address near Phoenix, police say the male passenger stabbed her with a kitchen knife multiple times.
After the 39-year-old, who was in her third trimester of pregnancy, exited the vehicle, the assailant reportedly continued to assault her with the weapon before fleeing with her car.

Residents at a nearby apartment complex told local news station ABC15 they could hear the woman’s screams. Howato soon passed out and was taken to a local hospital, where she and the unborn child were both declared dead.
With the help of the GPS technology with which Howato’s SUV was equipped, police were able to track down the suspect, later identified as 20-year-old Fabian Durazo, near the California border almost 150 miles away.
Durazo was taken into custody, where he is being held on two counts of first-degree murder, vehicle theft, armed robbery, and kidnapping charges. Lyft said it deactivated the suspect’s account and was working with authorities.
Howazo leaves behind two other children; a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old. Our hearts go out to her loved ones.
