Pregnant 17-year-old Eva Casara of Chicago had her whole life ahead of her. She had a child on the way, and most people knew her as a sweet girl, full of life. Sadly, her life was cut short by someone she thought she could trust. Casara was shot in the back of her head on Christmas day by her 16-year-old boyfriend and his two brothers in a drug deal gone bad. Casara was with her boyfriend, Anthony Lee, his brother, Dainte Coakely and another unnamed brother as they were meeting up with someone for a drug deal/robbery at 152nd and Dorchester in Dolton, Ill. Detectives say that Casara and her boyfriend’s brother, Coakley, were in the car prior to an argument that erupted between her boyfriend and the individual they met up with and were trying to rob. Coakley left Casara in the car to involve himself in the melee, and somehow, Casara wound up in the car of the individual the brothers were targeting. All of a sudden things went awry and Coakley tried to open the individual’s car door on the driver’s side. The driver pulled off and while doing so, both Coakely and Lee opened fire, either not realizing or not caring that Casara was in the backseat of the car they were firing at. The driver spotted the wounded Casara in his backseat after hearing “gurgling sounds.” A bullet had hit her in the back of the head. Once he made the discovery, he dumped her body near an apartment building complex nearby; she would eventually be on the ground, in the cold, for 40 minutes before someone saw her and EMTs were called to the scene. Investigators believe that she was not the intended target of the shooting, but was accidentally shot. Chicago’s Police Chief John Franklin says that Casara was “in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong company.” Lee and Coakley are being held without bail and have been arraigned on first-degree murder charges. The police are still looking for their other brother who was also a part of the shooting. Miraculously, Casara and Lee’s baby girl survived the ordeal. She was delivered prematurely and is in critical condition. Casara’s family plan to name the baby Lailani Paris Casara. Story provided by: Madame Noire
