A new Atlanta mother has been fatally stabbed while protecting her younger sister from a group of girls who were bullying her.

19-year-old Talela Stevenson was found lying in her driveway after being stabbed in the neck. 14-year-old Jashaunte Marshall has been charged with murder in connection with the deadly stabbing.

"She was only trying to defend her 14-year-old sister from being assaulted by multiple girls," the victim's older sister told reporters.

The victim had given birth to a baby girl three weeks before the incident: "Talela had just begun her journey into motherhood. Only for it to be taken away so soon for only trying to defend her younger sisters."

Marshall is being held in Fulton County Youth Detention Center.
