Paramedics and cops raced to the rescue at 3.10 AM. The woman was taken to the hospital, but she was later pronounced dead.
A man in his 30s is being held on suspicion for murder. A woman in her 20s is being held on suspicion for murder and aiding an offender.
Megan Murphy (her grieving niece) has set up a fundraiser in order to raise funds for her funeral.
She wrote: “My auntie leaves behind her nine-year-old Brooke, 14-year-old Ellie and her 22-year-old Tommy Lee.”
“We don’t know exactly what happened yet but it is being treated as attempted murder, I hope we can give her a beautiful send off!
“You didn’t deserve this auntie Sam and we will get you the justice you deserve!
“Please keep our broken family in your hearts especially my baby cousins!
“Thank you in advance and for all the kind messages… rest easy our angel!”
