According to local authorities, the circumstances surrounding Judith's death were linked to a family dispute. Cleveland City Councilwoman Stephanie Howse Jones commented on the incident, stating, "Unfortunately there was a family dispute, that led to the killing of two
people, you know, in a household". This suggests that Judith's death may have been part of a larger incident involving multiple victims.
