Her baby girl is in critical condition, and the man police arrested for her murder is facing felony charges.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/tucsonmovingreport.com\/?p=1287\">More human remains found at home of woman accused in 1975 homicide<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While investigators and prosecutors continue building their case, the people who knew Jariah Edwards best say they want everyone to remember the 17-year-old behind the headlines, describing her as a young woman excited to become a mom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe fit right in with us. Like, she was literally one of us,\u201d said a friend.<\/p>\n<h2>Friends describe nurturing teen<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cShe was my best friend, but we were all very close to her,\u201d Amara Corley said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe just had a natural nurturing energy to her,\u201d Jamila Corley said.<\/p>\n<p>A nurturing energy that her friends say was about to play a big role in her next chapter in life. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was just ready to finally meet her and see what she looks like,\u201d Amara said.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, her loved ones are left planning a funeral after San Diego police say Jariah was shot outside a vacation rental just after 1 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not fair what happened to her,\u201d a friend said.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors delivered her baby by emergency C-section before Jariah died at the hospital. Friends say Jariah\u2019s world revolved around her unborn daughter, a daughter now fighting for her own life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was so excited. I feel like it gave her something to look forward to. Just all the stress and stuff, especially with that relationship,\u201d Amara said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/tucsonmovingreport.com\/?p=1285\">Tucson Police looking for missing vulnerable woman<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Police say 21-year-old Trevon Williams, who was her boyfriend, traveled separately to San Diego. Her friends say she was lured outside with flowers, describing Williams as a controlling boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe literally drained like the happiness from her,\u201d Samaya Corley said.<\/p>\n<p>Williams fled the scene but was eventually arrested. He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday on charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder. Jail records show he is being held without bond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t get enough time with her. Like no justice, no amount of years, like will make up for him taking her life away,\u201d Jamila said.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors have until noon Wednesday to formally file their case ahead of the scheduled 1:30 p.m. arraignment. Unlike Arizona, where a mugshot would likely be public now, California law generally prevents law enforcement from releasing arrest mugshots before conviction.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to donate to the family, visit their GoFundMe here.<\/p>\n<p><i>See a spelling or grammatical error in our story? <\/i><i>Please click here to report it<\/i><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Do you have a photo or video of a breaking news story?
