Sarah was found dead in the hallway of her apartment complex. She had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators revealed that Sarah was a close friend of a resident living on the 7th floor of the apartment building. She was trying to enter her friend’s apartment when she was confronted by the resident’s ex-boyfriend who then shot her.

The shooter fled the scene of the attack but was found a short time later.

Sarah was a devout Christian woman. She loved and would do anything for her boys and her family. She enjoyed singing karaoke (where she earned her nickname “skittles”). She was also known as “Boombee” by family. She loved the colour yellow, gardening, flowers, making crafts, and working the store in the building where she lived.
