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.

All kinds of people commit crimes, not just blacks. Humans are a fallen race.
Not at all too much info! I made an assumption years ago (I am not natively an HTML guy) and that is all I know, so...I may try using the percentage modifier to the width tag now!
Thank you...:)
Yes, the eyes. How often do we see this? There’s got to be something to it.
From the headline I thought it meant that the officer (Coble) had been found dead.
“I feel so sorry for the cute girl and her family.”
Me too. Unfortunately in that culture, if you make one bad choice, it may be your last choice. Obviously if she had left her ‘culture’, she’d almost definitely be alive today.
