The deceased only managed to put up a fight for a short period having declared dead the following day, Sunday. She reportedly died at a hospital located in Memphis, Tennessee.

Various instances of gun violence in a civil environment can be attributed to an easy access to weapons meant for protection against criminal adversaries.
Such an opportunity is however not available in Nigeria except you run into your dad's gun from the 1967 Nigerian Civil War.
