A pregnant 19-year-old has been arrested after shooting her boyfriend dead in front of their daughter, three, in a bid by the pair to be famous.
MonaLisa Perez was charged with second-degree manslaughter this morning in the death of 22-year-old Pedro Ruiz III, the Star Tribune reported.
Ruiz reportedly had been pushing Perez to go through with his latest prank, in which he would hold a hardcover Encyclopedia up to his chest and get her to shoot at the book.
Perez pulled the trigger on a .50-calibre Desert Eagle gun, a pistol described in online ads as "one of the world's most powerful semiautomatic handguns."
However, the bullet went into Ruiz's chest and he died.
