Allegedly, Marcus was filming for Snapchat when he shot his pregnant girlfriend, and requests have gone out to remove the footage.

She is also a mother to a two-year-old. After she went inside, Makayla’s family was seemingly worried about her, so her brother, Tyler, 20, went in to check on her. Makayla had been shot by Marcus, and Tyler was ultimately shot and killed while trying to take care of his sister. Her wounds were to her stomach, but luckily, she survived, as did her baby. The baby arrived early but seems to be in a good state. Her other child is staying with family while she recovers from this horrid crime.

Snapchat has been working to get the video taken down wherever they see it. As for Makayla’s boyfriend, he ultimately shot himself and died. Tyler is being touted as a hero amid his lifesaving efforts when it came to Makayla. Sadly, he lost his life protecting hers, and now there is a GoFundMe set up to help the Wisconsin family. The goal is $20K and they have already made nearly $14K, with the service set for the end of December 2025. As of now, no motive is known.

A Horrible Tragedy

  • I’m sorry for your loss my condolences to the family. But I’m happy that the baby is doing well. MayGod bless u all
  • So very sad. Tyler is a hero for protecting his pregnant sister and that precious baby.

Some slammed Makayla for already having a toddler and being pregnant, but that is not the point of all of this. This is a tragedy that never should have happened, and the culprit is no longer alive. Therefore, getting a motive may be impossible. Two people are deceased, and families are broken.
