"Nakita Nyombe", a Chicago native, died on August 18, 1996 at 10:09 pm after an abortion performed the previous day.
Strangely, her death certificate gives her place of injury as "home" and the time as 8 pm. Her obituary says that she died after outpatient medical procedures, compounding the mystery of where or how the fatal abortion was done.
After the abortion she was admitted to a Chicago hospital, where doctors performed a hysterectomy to try to save her. However, she developed sepsis and quickly died.
Nakita was a university student looking to a bright future practicing law. She and her family had been very active in cultural events in the community.
