“I have no words because I can’t believe this is real,” Yolanda’s ex-husband Kineh N’Gaojia wrote on Facebook.
“This is stuff you see [in] movies but it has become our life. I can’t believe you are gone … how y’all gonna kill her on her Son birthday at his gravesite???” wrote Kineh.
The ex-husband told police that Yolanda was visiting her late son Amir’s grave after he turned 22 in heaven. Amir passed away on December 31st, according to his obituary. He was one of Yolanda’s three children, according to KWTX.
My children will never be the same again,” Kineh wrote in another Facebook post.
“Those bullets took a precious gem from us but gave us an Amazing Angel to guide us so you know we ain’t going nowhere but up cause we know how hard you rode for your family,” the father said.
Killeen Police called the shooting “an isolated incident” and said it is being investigated as a murder. Nevertheless, Police have not yet released the identities of the victims.
