The gun violence follows the 20-year-old being in the process of obtaining a restraining order against her ex boyfriend the victim’s mother, Jennifer Carrol told FOX2.
‘She was with Lincoln, her ex-boyfriend, for almost a year and they were having trouble,’ the grieving parent said. ‘He was stalking her for the past two months. And he came here last night, shot her, called 911, said he killed his girlfriend, and then shot himself.’
A witness told Westland Community News their son was visiting a friend at the apartment complex when Carroll confronted her ex in the parking lot. According to the witness, the man pulled out a shotgun, shot her, and then killed himself. Police have not yet confirmed those details.
