CHICAGO (WLS) -- There was a big turn-out Sunday for a free baby item giveaway in honor of a murdered pregnant mother.
Marlen Ochoa Lopez was killed in 2019 after being lured to a Chicago home with the promise of free baby items. Her baby, Yovanny Lopez, was taken from her womb, and died two months later.

Lopez's other son, 6-year-old son Joshua Lopez, was on hand for the giveaway in north suburban Waukegan.
The goal of the event was to provide a safe space for mothers and mothers-to-be to get the items they need.
