They say she later died at the hospital.

Her aunt, Tanya Flucker said she was actually in the area shortly after the shooting, but did not know her niece had been shot. She said the shooting happened just down the street from where her husband was shot and killed eight years ago.

“She didn’t deserve that at all …'Tasha was a good person," Flucker said. "She was funny, she was a character — you know my niece was real good people, she had a lot a love."

The Rev. Stovelleo Stovall said Flucker and her aunt both attend his church, God is Able Outreach. 

“She was brutally murdered," he said. "You know this is unacceptable — this is unacceptable with these shootings and these guns that are being used to take these young people and anybody who cross their paths."

Detectives say 20-year-old Nathaniel Gabriel Thomas was developed as a suspect in connection to the shooting. He was being held without bond at the Orange County Jail on a charge of first-degree murder.
