Aaron Fitzpatrick, 19 of South Philadelphia, was arrested for allegedly shooting his girlfriend to death early Thursday morning because he was angry that she was pregnant with his child.

Around 2:20 a.m., police responded to a home on Mildred Street near Wolf and found Tiffany Gillespie, 24, lying on the floor in the basement, police said.

Gillespie was shot once in her head, and was pronounced dead on the scene by medics, police said.

Fitzpatrick, of 8th Street near McKean, faces charges of murder, murdering an unborn child, and weapons violations, police said.

    Oh, I don't know. One my dearest friends in the world--a white woman--is married to a black, highly-educated, very much in-demand Ph.D., and when I spoke with her just a few days ago, she was very much happy and alive, with nary a scratch on her (as was their beautiful daughter). I doubt that she would do barely half as well with the likes of you. But you can dream, can't you?

    Butterfinger, butterfinger, what is your name? Obviously, that should read, "One OF my dearest friends..."

    I hope the photo satisfies the morbid curiosity of all our racist posters.

    Rather than condemn him, how about we talk about the Bush Administration left young African-American males fearful of being hauled off to fight and die in an illegal wars so Halliburton and Big Oil could have higher stock prices? A generation of African-Americans were destroyed by the policies of the criminal Bush, who should be charged in this murder as an accessory before the fact. I am sick of people always blaming the black president because, well, he is black, rather than the true culprit, the criminal Bush.

    eldiablodelsol2009, We have an all volunteer Army. No one has been hauled off to fight in Iraq or Afganistan. Don't forget that Obama has been in charge since 2009.

    Excellent insight! George Bush's fault. Why didn't I think of that?

    Eldiablodels, are you seriously trying to blame George Bush for this murder?! Come on, this kid is obviously an animal and a savage to shoot a pregnant woman in the head. He should be put down.

    "eldiablodelsol2009, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

    eldiablodelsol is a parody. He writes the same stupid thing on every comment section. It's a joke, people.

    I'm beginning to think that Abe Lincoln was wrong about freeing the slaves.

    If he get Benjamin Lerner as a judge, he will be out of jail in about 7 years..if he gets Teresa Sarmina as a judge he will be set free and a Catholic will need to step in and serve his punishment.

    Killing your girlfriend and unborn child is way easier than sticking around to raise the child and support your girl, or leaving them and paying child support.

    This kid just looks like a murderer
