HANOVER COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — A U.S. Navy officer was found guilty of killing his pregnant girlfriend in 2022 after she refused to get an abortion.
On Wednesday, April 23, 27-year-old Emmanuel Coble of Hampton was found guilty in Hanover County Circuit Court on all five charges he faced in the murder of 20-year-old Raquiah King of Hampton, who was shot and killed in July 2022, according to Mackenzie Babichenko, the Hanover County Commonwealth’s Attorney.
King’s death also resulted in the loss of her pregnancy, which was about 12 weeks along.
On July 21, 2022, a deputy with the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office was called to the area of Greenwood and Winns Church roads after a caller reported they’d found a body in some brush. The victim, later identified as King, had a single gunshot wound.
Then-27-year-old Coble, a junior grade lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, was charged in connection with her murder on Aug. 18, 2022.
Court documents reviewed by 8News revealed that, shortly before King was murdered, she and Coble were having “domestic issues” because Coble “did not want to be a father to [her] baby.” King’s mother, Rachel Pender, said her daughter had told her that “if something was to happen to her, [Coble] was responsible.”
The day before her body was found, Coble reportedly took King to an abortion clinic in Virginia Beach. Per court documents, she refused the procedure.
As said above, Coble was found guilty on all charges, which included 1st-degree murder, murdering a pregnant woman with the intent to terminate pregnancy, the premeditated killing of the fetus of another, concealing a dead body and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Another dead pregnant mother. Chalk this one up to the DNC’s “Planned Parenthood” squawd.
It’s them again, Yogi.
We both posted the same picture at exactly the same time 9:30:34. I used the “width=”40%”>” tag but didn’t preview, so we both posted the same image at full size. What are the odds?
Unfortunately, I Suspected it before I saw the photo. So heartless.
The DNC is just pure unadulterated evil.
The headline makes it sound like the Navy Officer was found dead.
I wonder how he made officer?
“I wonder how he made officer?”
DEI ?
Dead, lifeless, unfocused and (low interest/illiterate ?) eyes.
How the bloody Hades did he ever get a commission? Keep a commission - other than Obama-Biden-Harris DIE policies of discrimination and exclusion and intervention?
If Obama had a son....
....DEI hire, I reckon....when I was active duty Navy in the early 1960s, this sort of thing would have been unthinkable...but, times have changed, I guess....
U.S. Navy officer found guilty of murdering pregnant girlfriend.
There I fixed it. They don’t teach English anymore. not required for Journalism 101?

This is so sad.
This reminds me of so many stories of girls feeling pressured to get an abortion. I’ve seen surveys of this, and many report others pressured then to abort.
And it’s not always boyfriends pushing abortion. Sometimes a girl’s family pressures them, saying they are too young, how hard single motherhood is ,etc.
What’s missing from such discussions, is the possibility of adopting out the baby, if a mother is truly incapable or unwilling to raise that child.
Yes, unplanned pregnancies happen, but adoption doesn’t seem to be on people’s minds, if motherhood is just out of the question for a particular woman.
In my husband’s twenty years in the AF, we were friends and neighbors with quite a few black officers, including pilots.
This was back in the ‘60s and ‘70s, before caucasian people were demonized.
That is what I thought. Poor language skills
