Minor allegedly shot the pregnant woman in front of her two children at their Milwaukee home on March 6, 2016. The victim's unborn child, who was due less than a week later, also died.
The victim was a neighbor of Minor's mother, and authorities believe the dispute began when Minor allegedly confronted the victim over the music and felt her response had been disrespectful.
The victim was Minor's 23-year-old former high school classmate, according to NBC News.
The FBI offered a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to Minor's arrest.
