An Ohio man has been indicted after he asked for a work leave and hired two pals to kill his pregnant girlfriend on the day she was due to have their baby.
30-year-old Kayvon Warren allegedly reached out to his friends to help kill 26-year-old India Kinamore in her Colerain Township home on March 4, 2023, the day she was to give birth to the couple’s child.
Warren telegraphed the murder by first asking for time off from work to mourn her death, said Hamilton County prosecutors.

“This should have been one of the happiest days of India’s life,” Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich said in a statement Thursday as she announced a 13-count murder indictment against the trio.
“Instead, the father of the child conspired with two others to kill her. It’s heartbreaking,” said Pillich. “My office will see that justice is done for both India and her baby.”
According to reports, Warren was allegedly seeing another woman and was facing financial struggles with his home possibly being up for sale at the time. It was one of the reasons he allegedly tried to pressure Kinamore into having an abortion.
Upon realizing he had little time to spare, Kayvon Warren chose to hire Robert Ervin, 20, as well as 22-year-old Lamar Morris Suggs.

Prosecutors claim they broke into Kinemore’s home around 6 a.m. with plans to mask the murder as a burglary gone wrong. According to officials, all three fled the scene after shooting and killing the young mother-to-be.
County detectives and cops from the Colerain Police Department conducted dozens of interviews and scoured financial as well as phone records to finally break the mysterious case of the Ohio man, who was indicted last week.
Prosecutors said that the three friends were charged with aggravated murder, burglary, and felony assault, with Ervin and Suggs also facing weapons charges in the case.
