Pregnant Rylee Montgomery, 16, died at the scene while her 17-year-old friend, also pregnant, and a 22-year-old woman were rushed to hospital.

Police have named 18-year-old Michael Sanchez, who had been in an on-again off-again relationship with Rylee, as their prime suspect.

The Buckeye Police Department ran in on the horror scene at 8:15pm on Thursday, May 14.

They said they found “three female victims suffering from gunshot wounds” on Elwood St in Buckeye.

Two men were spotted running from the horror attack before officers arrived.

“Over the next few hours, investigators worked to identify the suspected shooter as 18-year-old Michael Sanchez, who was in a romantic relationship with Montgomery”, confirmed Buckeye police in a post on Facebook.

He is now being held in Maricopa County jail on two counts of first-degree murder.

Sanchez had previously threatened violence against Rylee if she did not “kill the baby” she carried in her womb, according to the victim’s stepmother.

Rylee’s step mum, Amy, claimed on GoFundMe that Sanchez was “controlling”.

“He started off very sweet and nice to her. Once he got her pregnant in February, it was all over”, she said.

“When she broke up with him in March, he decided to point a gun at her face and told her she wasn’t allowed”.

According to Amy, he also sent her photos of himself holding a gun to his head with the message “I’ll get you”.

Rylee reported the disturbing threats to the police – and just three hours before she was killed, according to her stepmother.

The family had contacted police several times in the run up to Rylee’s death – but were largely ignored, claimed Amy.

She believes Sanchez planned to murder her daughter in cold blood.

Abby – believed to be Rylee’s pregnant pal – was forced to deliver her baby boy at 25 weeks after reportedly being shot three times.

The identity of the third woman who was shot is unclear.

Step mum Amy also revealed that Rylee would have given birth to a baby girl whom the family have named Erica Kathleen, after Rylee’s grandmother.

At the time of the murder, Sanchez was already being watched by the police.

The 18-year-old was wearing an ankle monitor for crashing his car in a road rage incident in March.
