She had two other children: a 5 year-old and an 18 year-old.

sorry!

I should have read the rest of the article first...

“...She was rushed into the hospital, but later died there. In addition to Saniyah, Gaskin left behind two other daughters — an 18-year-old and a five-year-old.

I believe that the upcoming investigation will reveal that she held a 32oz soda in her right hand.

You need say no more. Sounds like a problem peculiar to a particular culture.

She worked for immigration services for a while, it said. This could have been a revenge hit from some illegal who’d been watching her.

I’m guessing a gang hit on whitey. Black thug racism. They are “progressing” to white women the last couple of weeks.
