Investigations revealed that Gabriella had previously reported Harold Thompson two months before the crime, accusing him of beating her while she was pregnant and attempting to strangle her.

Her sister, Mileny Rubio, told NBC 5 that the victim lived in fear: «He was so angry because she wanted to get away from him.»

The court imposed a life sentence without the possibility of parole, highlighting the brutality of the crime and the history of domestic violence.

Organizations advocating for women’s rights have reiterated the need for enhanced protective measures for victims of gender-based violence, especially in states with restrictions on abortion access.
