A 21-year-old pregnant woman died after a fight at Philadelphia Traffic Court Monday afternoon.
Tovoyia Owens, a mother to a three-year-old girl, and her current boyfriend were leaving the courthouse at 800 Spring Garden St. when they had some sort of altercation with an ex-boyfriend and a group of men just before 2 p.m., sources said.
Witnesses said that about five men attacked Owens outside the courthouse.
During the fight one of the men allegedly struck the mother-to-be in the head causing Owens to fall to the ground possibly hitting her head against the pavement, police said.

 
 
Owens was pronounced dead at 3:10 p.m. at Hahnemann Hospital after the altercation.
A 29-year-old man believed to be the ex was arrested, said sources. His exact role in the brawl wasn't immediately clear.

PHILLY, PA- SPRING GARDEN - 
February 7, 2011 (WPVI) -- A 21-year-old woman has died following a beating outside traffic court in Spring Garden, police say. 

Authorities say the incident began just before 2:00 p.m. in the area of 8th and Spring Garden streets outside Philadelphia Traffic Court.

Sources tell Action News the 21-year-old woman was in court to retrieve her car which was impounded due to unpaid parking tickets.

When the woman realized she did not have enough money to get her car back, she left the courtroom to talk to her boyfriend.

While leaving the building, the woman was approached by her ex-boyfriend and four of his friends.

The meeting between the 21-year-old and the ex-boyfriend turned into an argument.

Words were exchanged and then the woman was assaulted.

"We saw all these guys beating this girl and no one tried to help," witness David Cole said.

The 21-year-old woman was taken to Hahnemann Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Police were able to catch up with at least one suspect who is now in custody.

Homicide Detectives are looking at surveillance video from four cameras that belong to a business across the street from the traffic court.
