The family of a pregnant woman who was murdered and had her baby ripped from her womb said their focus now is on praying for a miracle so that her infant son — who survived but sustained brain damage — can make a recovery.

“I have a lot of faith that the baby’s going to live. God is going to give me that miracle. We’re anxiously waiting to have him, to love him,” Yiovanni Lopez, 20, said of his newborn son.
