REDFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Family and friends of Danielle Munoz gathered Wednesday night at a candlelight vigil to remember her.
Family members said not only was it an emotional farewell but a plea for justice for the man who killed her.
"Her only mistake was returning back to him and loving a man with no heart, no feelings and no consciounse, Danielle's mother, Teresa Munoz told Local 4 with tears in her eyes. "My daughter told me had a gun and yet she kept returning back to him."
The body of Munoz was found shot in the neck, stuffed in the trunk of a car outside an oil change shop in Redford Township on Monday.
Police said her boyfriend Ali Hourani is responsible.
"Her life was taken. She was young and didn't deserve to die," Lori Saad, Munoz's cousin, told Local 4.
Hourani may have fled to Lebanon, according to investigators.
Police believe it is a case of domestic violence.
Munoz's cousin told police Munoz warned them in her journal about her boyfriend's alleged abuse. Her cousin read from her journal, "So sad, I never knew love could hit you whenever it got mad. Call you names or smack you around or toss you on the ground. Or make you feel useless. If that's love than I don't want it anymore
Her mother said she hope's Danielle's death is a lesson for everyone about domestic violence. " If it's abuse, he don't love you. If he hits you, he don't love you."
With the help of the Department of Homeland Security, investigators tracked down Hourany in Beirut.
Redford Township police is handling the case from this moment on.
Police said it will be difficult to try and make contact with Hourany since the U.S. does not have an extradition treaty with Lebanon.
I was so sickened at the thought of yet another girl getting involved with one of these killers that I completely missed that. He's gone.
I just hate to hear about how Danielle left this earth.I have four daughters and they will be dating and the fear that i have that they could meet a dog like Ali. Ali needs to hurt just as much as Danielle's mother is for taken her precious baby away. A dog like him will get his one day
