"For her to be gone so quickly at a young age, it breaks my heart," said the victim's cousin, Theisha Allen. "I'm very torn apart. I'm lost, I'm at a loss for words, I'm confused, I have questions, I want to know why, why this happened."
Friends and family have no idea who would have wanted to harm the young mom.
"It makes me sick to my stomach," said Tejada. "You're out there, you know what you did."
Police said Thursday there have been no new developments in the investigation.
