A young girl was horrified to find her pregnant mother laying dead in the bedroom of her home, prosecutors in New York said.

Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson announced that a 42-year-old man was sentenced to serve 17 years to life in prison for killing his girlfriend, who was nine months pregnant when he shot her in the head inside her home.

Jefferson Jones pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder.

According to the police investigation, the defendant shot Lamethia McCollum, 28, twice in the head inside her apartment at 1394 East 48th Street in Flatlands.

The body of the victim was discovered by her 8-year-old daughter. Jones is currently serving a prison sentence for an unrelated crime.

Jones and an accomplice were spotted by a homeowner in the backyard of 176-10 145th Drive in Springfield Gardens, Queens.

Police was called and Jones, who was in possession of a gun, was charged with attempted burglary.

Forensic analysis determined that a single spent shell casing that was recovered at the scene of the murder matched the defendant’s gun.

Jones was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for first-degree attempted burglary in connection with the Queens case.

He will begin serving his sentence for the murder after completing his sentence for the attempted robbery.
