Sentenced: Isis Williams, Murdered In Front Of Newborn Daughter

[Sugar Cookie]

There was unimaginable grief as mourners lit candles outside the home where 24-year-old Isis Williams was shot and killed. It happened while her five-day-old daughter slept just feet away.

Relatives remembered a beautiful and caring mother who gave birth to her third child a week ago Sunday.

"She was funny. Her laugh made everyone laugh," said cousin Amara Thornton. "Positive about everything."

On Friday morning, police say Williams' boyfriend Tyrese Lynch shot her in the head after an argument.

Lynch turned himself in to police Monday.

This isn't the first time the couple's relationship turned violent.

Police say Lynch was arrested a year ago for assaulting Williams but charges were dropped when officials say she didn't appear in court.

Neighbors reported hearing yelling between the two in the weeks leading up her murder.

As family and friends released balloons, Williams' cousin pleads for victims of domestic violence to get out and begs for their neighbors to stay alert.

3 littles without a mom.
How sad.

She stayed with her abuser until he finally killed her.
How sad.

(And enabled him by refusing to testify against him.)

She was probably just trying to survive with him day by day which always makes it harder to see the inevitable future, even though it’s obvious to the rest of us.

She made everyone laugh...but him.
Kinda looks like Omar from The Wire

Wonder what she said that finally made him pull the trigger?
