Detroit woman gives birth, days after fire attack

DETROIT (AP) — Police say a Detroit woman whose ex-boyfriend allegedly tried to have her killed to prevent her from having his child has given birth to a boy.

Warren deputy police commissioner Louis Galasso says Latonya Bowman’s son was delivered via an emergency cesarean section early today. He didn’t know if the C-section was needed because of Saturday’s attack.

The child’s father and another man are expected to be arraigned later Tuesday on attempted murder charges.

Police say the second man abducted the 22-year-old Bowman while she was dropping her ex-boyfriend off after a night out. They say the man bound her in tape, doused her in lighter fluid and set her on fire. They say he then shot her and fled while she played dead.

Bowman is expected to recover.
