Police in Georgia are investigating the killing of a pregnant mother-of-two who was found shot to death in her vehicle on an Atlanta highway during rush hour.
Atlanta cops were called a few person possibly shot on Interstate 75 on Tuesday, April 14, at roughly 6:15 p.m.
Investigators got here upon the white BMW SUV on the shoulder of the northbound side of the highway, not removed from Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport — its right turn signal still flashing.
It was obvious, police said, that the feminine driver — Bianca Huntley — was the victim of “an apparent gunshot wound.”
Huntley, 34, was shot while on her drive home. She was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and died, despite doctors’ best efforts.
The “preliminary investigation indicates the victim can have sustained her injuries at a separate and currently unknown location,” the department said in a news release.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner determined that Huntley died from a “gunshot wound involving the left arm and torso.”
“Preliminary investigation indicates the victim can have sustained her injuries at a separate and currently unknown location,” the police said.
Her mother, Gloria Allen, told 11 Alive that the slain woman was “a shining light that got snuffed out.
She said that Huntley — originally from Greensboro, North Carolina — moved to Atlanta nine years ago for her job at courier and logistics company, DHL. She was also recently promoted as a top quality manager, the grieving grandmother explained.
“She had just gotten a promotion,” Allen enthused to the station. “She was within the means of hiring a team when her life was tragically ended.”
Allen, she added, had two daughters, aged 14 and 5. Allen didn’t reveal the gender of the newborn Huntley was carrying.
Huntley was also pleased with becoming a house owner by the point she turned 30, Allen said.
“By herself, OK, raising two daughters, due to her exertions and dedication — no person did it for her, she did it,” Allen said.
She also said that she believes this was no easy case of road rage — but that somebody specifically targeted her daughter.

“I’m a lady of religion. Vengeance belongs to God, but my daughter will probably be vindicated,” she told 11 Alive.
Atlanta officials were unavailable for added comment on Friday, April 17.
