A vigil was held on Sunday for a woman who was murdered in an apartment in New Britain last week and her family says she was pregnant at the time she was killed.
The man accused of killing a woman in her New Britain apartment earlier this month was transported back to Connecticut to face murder charges and his bond has been set at $5 million.
Police said Moenisha Collins was found shot and killed in her apartment on Fairview Street on Dec. 1. Her family told NBC Connecticut that she was pregnant at the time of her death.
Collins' family said the 27-year-old also leaves behind a young daughter and was expecting with her suspected killer, 46-year-old Vincent Blair.
According to Moenisha's family, Blair was her boyfriend and the father of her unborn baby. They said she was trying to get out of the relationship.
