In a harrowing incident, a pregnant woman was reportedly attacked by three women in Memphis, resulting in the tragic loss of her unborn child; the Memphis Police Department attributes the assault as the likely cause of the miscarriage, WREG reports. Dalayah Suggs, aged 21, and Tennille Luster, aged 25, face charges of Aggravated Assault following their alleged involvement in this tragic confrontation.

Details preceding the attack suggest a planned altercation, with the victim receiving a text from Suggs on July 2, compelling her to meet for a fight at a local field, a mere 10 minutes subsequent to the message, another arrived stating, "We here," signaling that Suggs and her cohort awaited. The victim, who's identity remains anonymous, was 12 weeks pregnant at the time and, following the assault, suffered the devastating loss of her baby two days later, FOX13 Memphis reports.

As of now, Suggs is in custody and faces the consequences of her alleged action—aggravated assault charges, awaiting the due process of law to unfurl the threads of this incident—whereas the status of the other alleged attackers remains unclear. The Memphis Police Department continues its investigation, although details of the altercation are still forthcoming.
