Ex-Boyfriend Indicted in Pregnant Teen's Murder

Michael Sanchez, 18, has been indicted on charges including first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of his pregnant ex-girlfriend, 16-year-old Rylee Montgomery. The incident occurred on May 14 outside a home in Buckeye, Arizona, where Montgomery, who was three and a half months pregnant, was allegedly killed along with her unborn baby.

Two other women, identified as 17-year-old Abby Krebs and 22-year-old Myah Hembree, were also shot and critically injured. Krebs, Montgomery's best friend, was six months pregnant and underwent an emergency C-section, but her son, Timothy Rylee, died days later.

Sanchez's alleged accomplice, Antonio Tequida, 19, has been indicted on hindering prosecution charges for reportedly driving Sanchez to the scene and then helping him evade police. Sanchez was arrested in Avondale, Arizona, while Tequida remains in custody on a $100,000 bond.

Montgomery had reportedly broken up with Sanchez in March due to alleged threats. A previous assault report against Sanchez involving Montgomery was investigated by police in April, but they were unable to establish probable cause for an arrest at that time. Hembree is currently in the ICU on a ventilator, continuing to fight for her life.
