Family members told Local 10 that Chester was with her boyfriend, who was also reportedly shot. Her relatives also told CBS Miami that Chester was walking from a local corner store when shots were fired.
“The woman who was pronounced deceased on the scene was there visiting. She didn’t live in that precise area,” Miami Police Officer Kenia Fallat told WSVN. “We don’t know who was the intended target, but definitely, it was a very big scene, and we still are trying to work on getting more answers.”
Fallat also said two men were shot and treated at Ryder Trauma Center. “They’re stable at this point,” she added. “They are being attended to. Our last update was that they’re stable and they’re in their mid-20s.”
“We’re still trying to piece the puzzle together, there’s an additional scene that could be related,” Fallat continued. “We’re still trying to figure out how it fits in with our incident, so there’s a lot of more questions than we have answers.”
Family members said that Chester anticipated starting her senior year of high school.
“It’s sad, I know her from when she was a kid,” family friend Sparky Cunningham told WSVN, later adding of the shooter, who is still at large. “You know, it would be easier just to turn themselves in. It would be easier on they self. I got faith in the judicial system, they gonna get caught.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS and could receive a $5,000 reward, WSVN added.
