On April 28, 2025, just before 11:20 p.m., the single mom was in her home when a bullet fired through her window, striking her arm and chest, police say.
When first responders arrived at her home, James – who according to reports was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer – was already dead.
“She was bravely battling cancer yet again at the time that she was taken from us,” writes Juliána King, who organized a GoFundMe campaign to support James’ four kids – two that were reportedly home at the time she was killed.
“Jennifer was the epitome of sunshine. Anyone who knew her thought of her as the nicest person they had known,” King shared.
