Friends and family gathered Thursday at a makeshift memorial to honor a young couple, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby boy, who was killed in a car accident following a police pursuit in Pomona.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Loera-Zarco, 25, and her 26-year-old boyfriend, Marc Trejo Saldivar, had just been celebrating Jennifer\u2019s birthday days earlier and were preparing to welcome their baby boy, who was due to arrive on April 20.<\/p>\n

Their families say the sudden loss has left them in shock.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurreal. Like it doesn\u2019t feel like. I feel like I\u2019m dreaming,\u201d said Jennifer\u2019s sister, Amber Torres. \u201cIt\u2019s a bad dream. I\u2019m gonna wake up and she\u2019s gonna be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennifer was the youngest of four sisters. Two of them, Amber Torres and Andrea Solorio, described her as loving, caring and full of personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was smart, intelligent, if you let her tell it, she was the prettiest of all the sisters,\u201d Solorio said.<\/p>\n

Her sisters say she was deeply devoted to her family.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was so sweet nice caring. She was the best aunt, daughter, sister,\u201d Solorio said.<\/p>\n

Just weeks before the crash, the family had gathered to celebrate Jennifer\u2019s 25th birthday and the upcoming arrival of her baby.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just celebrated her birthday on the 27th, and two weeks before that we threw her a baby shower,\u201d Torres said. \u201cSo all we were doing was taking her shopping for last-minute things she didn\u2019t get at the shower.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Pomona Police Department, officers responded to a domestic violence call shortly after 9:30 p.m. Wednesday near East 10th and South Elm Street.<\/p>\n

Police say officers were speaking with one person involved in the incident when the other person returned home in a truck. Authorities identified that person as 31-year-old Marshall Judson.<\/p>\n

Police say Judson intentionally drove into a parked patrol vehicle and then fled the scene, leading officers on a two-mile pursuit.<\/p>\n

The pursuit ended<\/a> when Judson crashed into another car at Garey Avenue and County Road.<\/p>\n

Marc Trejo Saldivar was driving the car that was struck, with Jennifer Loera-Zarco in the passenger seat. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Family members say the couple had been preparing for their baby\u2019s arrival and planning their future together.<\/p>\n

Torres said they had recently been remodeling an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) at Marc\u2019s parents\u2019 home in Santa Ana, where they planned to live after the baby was born.<\/p>\n

Marc\u2019s father, Tony Trejo, said his son had an MBA and had been working two jobs to support his growing family.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfair and it\u2019s just heartbreaking,\u201d Trejo said. \u201cIt\u2019s heartbreaking that the little one didn\u2019t get to take his first breath. He was five days from it. We didn\u2019t have a name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trejo said the tragedy is a reminder to cherish loved ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell your loved ones you love them, kiss them, even if they’re going across the street,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just hope that they give him the maximum penalty and we can get the justice for my little sister and Marc and the baby,\u201d Andrea Solorio said.<\/p>\n

The family says they are now raising money online to bury Jennifer, Marc and their baby boy side by side.<\/p>\n

“Not only two lives were lost last night, it was three,\u201d Torres said. \u201cThe baby is a person and was its own being. He was almost here. He was only a couple of weeks from being a part of this family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Authorities say Marshall Judson is facing multiple charges, including driving under the influence, vehicular manslaughter, assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, driving without a valid license and felony evasion amd vehicular manslaugher. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Friends and family gathered Thursday at a makeshift memorial to honor a young couple, eagerly awaiting the arrival…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":701447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2961,224,5337,28985],"class_list":["post-701446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-la","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-pomona"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116339544874884877","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=701446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/701447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=701446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=701446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=701446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
