Carter, unborn

An unborn black child, identified as "Fetus Carter" by the coroner, was discovered during the autopsy for Sharon Carter, a 31 year-old black woman.

Carter was shot while driving her Nissan Pathfinder southbound in the 9600 block of South Compton Avenue at about 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Stephen Mark Picart, 33, her boyfriend, was later arrested on suspicion of murder after turning himself in. Her children, 4 and 14, were in the car when she was killed.

Coroner's officials did not give a gender for the fetus.
