LOGANVILLE, Ga. - The ex-boyfriend of the 7-month pregnant Loganville teenager who was killed a little over a week ago has been charged with malice murder, felony murder, feticide and aggravated assault.
At approximately 1 a.m. July 15, officers responded to the 3600 block of Stephens Road in Loganville after 16-year-old Mia Campos’ family called 911 to report finding her body just off the roadway.

The family informed officers that Campos had left the house the previous night with an unknown person. When she did not return home, her family used a cell phone application to locate her.
Initial evidence at the scene left investigators unable to determine how Campos died. Detectives, crime scene investigators, and the medical examiner’s office processed the scene and interviewed witnesses. Following an autopsy on July 16, the medical examiner determined that Campos’ death was a homicide.
