On Friday, October 29, 2021, at approximately 8:10 p.m., she was the victim of a fatal shooting. The incident unfolded in the 1100 block of Tuscaloosa Avenue, casting a somber shadow over the community.

Officials sought to reassure the public by stating that they believed the shooting was an isolated event and not a random act of violence. They also announced that all individuals involved in the incident had been identified by law enforcement.
