Police announced in May that Raymond Earl Holmes Jr., 41, of Abbots Park Drive, was charged with first-degree murder, murder of an unborn child, two counts of first-degree kidnapping, robbery with a dangerous weapon, felony conspiracy, attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and possession of a firearm by a felon.

An arrest warrant showed that Bellamy and her boyfriend were physically attacked by Holmes and Perry.
It said the men forced the two into a black Mercedes and went to the Ridge Road area.
There, it said, Bellamy and her boyfriend escaped.
That's when Holmes allegedly started firing his weapon in the direction of the two of them. Bellamy's boyfriend was shot but able to get away and survived his injuries.
Bellamy was hit and collapsed in the roadway, dying from her injuries. Her unborn baby also died. She was 6 months pregnant.
