Man charged with capital murder 4 months after pregnant woman shot and killed in N. Harris County

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A man has been charged with capital murder almost four months after a 20-year-old mother and her unborn child were killed.

The deadly shooting happened near a gas station in north Harris County back in September.

Keylin Daveyon Hollins, 20, is charged with capital murder in the deaths of Jennifer Hernandez and her unborn child and aggravated assault for injuring Hernandez's 17-year-old boyfriend.

Harris County sheriff's deputies said Hollins was out on bond for two felonies -- tampering and theft stemming incidents in February and April of 2022 -- at the time of the shooting.

Hollins appeared in court on Thursday morning. A judge set his bond at $1 million for the capital murder charge and $50,000 for the aggravated assault charge. His bond was also doubled for his previous felonies to $40,000 and $200,000.

Hernandez was 8 months pregnant with her first child -- a baby boy -- at the time of the shooting. She died just one day before her baby shower.
