Mack told Fox the family hopes the new arrival won’t disrupt plans for her mother to attend Gabby’s funeral on Saturday.
A viewing will be held from 9 to 11 a.m., with the funeral following from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Faith Holy Temple Church of God in Christ at 2713 River Road in Camden.
Gabby’s killer is still at large despite a record-breaking $76,000 reward.
Camden’s police chief, J. Scott Thomson, said Tuesday that eight-year-old was killed as a result of a dispute between rival drug gangs.
Anyone with information on the gunman or incident is urged to contact call Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Sherman Hopkins at 856 225-8623 or Camden County Police Department Detective Michael Ross at 856-757-7420.
