Three weeks ago, a man shot a pregnant woman with whom he has other children, killing her and the fetus in Fort Worth, police said.

Police on Friday arrested the suspect, 21-year-old Joseph Weathered, on suspicion of capital murder of multiple people in the Oct. 10 killings of Tonishea Harris and her unborn child.

Harris, 36, was about four months pregnant with a girl, according to police. She was shot in the 5200 block of Cross Plains Court, in southwest Fort Worth near Benbrook. She arrived in a private vehicle at a hospital in the early morning and was pronounced dead in the emergency room.

In December 2023, Weathered pleaded guilty to the offense of continuous violence against the family and was sentenced to three years in prison.

In that case in Arlington in July 2022, Weathered, then 18, hit a person he was dating and dragged her across the ground and separately pushed her, causing her to hit a window. The victim was not Harris.

Harris was the mother of two children, a relative wrote on GoFundMe.

“She leaves behind two small children who will deeply miss her love and care,” the relative wrote.
