Heart-Stopping Tragedy: Pregnant Woman Killed in Heated Argument Over Gun, Killer Sentenced to Life. On Friday, a man from Columbia entered a guilty plea to the murder of a pregnant mother and her unborn child.
After being charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder for the killing of the fetus, and other felonies, 32-year-old Sevance T. Brewer entered a guilty plea to two counts of second-degree murder. He received a life sentence in prison.
In August 2023, Brewer was charged with shooting a pregnant lady at a residence in Boone County located on the 4800 block of Clearview Road.
Court filings state that the woman was shot by Brewer following a dispute. After reviewing the film from the doorbell camera, investigators concluded that Brewer reportedly saw her fall against the wall before taking the revolver and exiting the house. The rifle was later discovered by investigators in a Columbia park, beneath a boulder in a creek bed.
According to court records, Brewer has a history of domestic abuse. In 2019 and 2021, he was charged with domestic abuse involving the same deceased victim.
Tuesday was supposed to be the start of Brewer’s jury trial.
According to Tammy Toalson, the victim’s mother, justice was not done. Toalson expresses her dissatisfaction with Brewer’s parole chances, telling ABC 17 News that she would have preferred the death penalty or no parole opportunity if it had been up to her.
“I don’t think justice was done, and he didn’t even apologize to us, and he looked like a fool up there,” Toalson remarked.
He wasn’t emotionless. Turquoise President, Brittany’s cousin, stated, “No regrets.” He simply was a drug addict. He was only interested in drugs and the fucking game.
On the night of her death, Britanny Toalson was just 27 years old, but her family and friends remember her for much longer.
She was calm and witty. She might crack some jokes at you. She was a good cook. Jessica Green, Toalson’s friend, remarked, “Oh my god, she could make the meanest banana pudding.”
Brewer has a history of drug abuse and domestic abuse, having been charged with both domestic violence and theft in 2019 and 2021.
He mistreated my cousin. For years, both vocally and mentally. She didn’t say much about many subjects. This wouldn’t have occurred if she had spoken up,” the president stated.
According to her relatives, on the night of the shooting, Brewer brought two of Brittany’s children to his mother’s residence. Since then, Brewer’s mother has been looking after them. According to Toalson’s family, they are presently attempting to regain custody of the children.
Tammy Toalson remarked, “His mother has not even expressed regret to us for what her son has done to our family.” And why is our daughter and our grandchildren taken by their family? We have lost everything to the Brewer family.
