A 17-year-old has been charged in connection with a Spirit Halloween store shooting in which a pregnant mother of four was killed and six others were wounded, according to multiple outlets. The suspect, identified across reports as Monte Smith, appears to be facing murder-related charges following the attack at a store in the Bay Area.
Outlets describe the case with varying emphasis. Several reports foreground the suspect’s prior history or earlier involvement with police, while others focus on what prosecutors allege about the shooting itself. One account highlights that prosecutors say the teen allegedly hunted down an intended target inside a store with families and children. Another stresses that law enforcement characterizes the incident as a targeted hit.
Across coverage, the victim is consistently described as a 31-year-old pregnant woman, identified as Constance Hages, who was killed during the incident. The reports collectively note that Smith made a first court appearance in connection with the attack and that six others were wounded.
