Hancock was approximately seven and a half months pregnant, the Texarkana Gazette reports.

Police said a female suspect has been taken into custody in Oklahoma.

According to KLTV, the attacker went to the hospital with the baby, who later died at the hospital.

In August, Hancock wrote on her Facebook page that she was expecting a baby girl. She planned to name her Braxlynn Sage.

"Some of you know, some of you don't... but we are having another SWEET BABYGIRL come November the 10th (give or take)," she wrote. "She already acts like her daddy & big sister. We cannot wait for our Braxlynn Sage to be here. Daddy is definitely outnumbered."

A PayPal account was set up to help raise money for her husband and their daughter.

“Let’s rally together and raise enough money to take any stress off him for any and all expenses that will occur,” the account states.
