She was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was later identified as 32-year-old Terri Denmark.
Sunday night, her entire family grieved the loss of a loved one.
“It was very sad – tragedy to the family like, it was just a shock that you know I never would’ve believed it was her,” Nika said.
She said on the long list of people her cousin leaves behind is her young child.
“She has a son too, so I don’t think that it was nothing, actually nothing she did wrong for anyone to harm her or anything like that.”
Without his mother, Nika said he’ll have to live with his grandmother.
She smiled as she remembered Terri’s upbeat personality.
“She was fun to be around, loved to party.”
