A 28-year-old man has been charged in the shooting death of a pregnant Bradenton teen Sunday.
The baby of 19-year-old Crystal Youngblood was delivered at a hospital but did not live long.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office on Friday charged Everrick Houston with two counts of murder. Investigators say he showed up at Manatee Memorial Hospital with a bullet wound after the shooting and that evidence collected at the scene implicated him.
Youngblood's boyfriend, Lawrence Funsch, told authorities he and Youngblood were in their apartment when men broke in and started shooting. He told investigators he shot back.
