“They wanted to get our number, Mildred was like no,” said Wilson. “We started throwing stuff at each others cars and then that’s when we get half way to the light they just shot her. She told me oh my gosh I’ve been shot and I’m like are you serious?”

The spirit of Beaubrun moved through her mother. She made a plea to the men who shot her.

“Its time for you guys to stop hurting people,” said Mireille Jeanlouis. “May my daughter rest in peace she’s in Gods hands.”

Family and friends plan to hand out composite sketches of the men through out the area to homes, businesses anyone who might be able to bring this case to justice.
