A second person has been charged in the 2023 Christmas Eve killings of a woman and her unborn child, according to Johnson County court documents.

Nicholas Gregg was booked into the Johnson County Jail Tuesday on charges of first-degree murder, no driver’s license and interference with an law enforcement officer, according to the Johnson County sheriff’s booking log.

The case was filed against Gregg in May, according to court documents.

Gregg faces one count each of first-degree murder, distribution of a controlled substance causing death and multiple counts of distributing narcotics and other drugs, according to a Johnson County court document.

Gregg is accused of providing narcotics, including fentanyl, to 31-year-old Alexandrea Hunter, resulting in the woman’s death, according to court documents. Hunter’s unborn child also died.

Also charged in connection to Hunter’s death is 24-year-old Izabel Reed, who faces the same charges as Gregg.

No further court dates are set in Gregg’s case. Reed is set to appear for a status conference on July 2, according to court documents.
