A woman gunned down in the drive-thru lane of a Mississippi McDonalds was remembered as a "cherished mother" as thousands of dollars in support pour into a GoFundMe.
Kianna Jackson, 25, was shot and killed by Jhonterryes Dampier, 27, June 16 in what was described by PEOPLE as an incidence of domestic violence. On her Facebook page, Kianna Jackson listed her status as "single." Dampier then turned the gun on himself and was pronounced dead from his injuries two days later.
Jackson left behind two children, a 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. A GoFundMe described her as a "cherished mother" and a "beloved daughter, sister, and friend."
"As we navigate this painful time, we want to honor Kianna's life with the memorial and funeral service she deserves," the page stated. "Unfortunately, the financial burden is more than we can manage on our own. We are asking for help to cover funeral and burial costs including the service and anything leftover will go to a trust fund for her children."
As of June 23, the page had raised $16,791.
One woman, said she had just met Jackson at the park, moments before she was killed.
"I didn't realize that I had just met this young lady at the park on Monday evening just moments before this tragedy. Her kids played with my kids. She said her name was Kianna Jackson and asked if we could exchange numbers because the kids played so well together, so we did," wrote Billie Shantay McCune-Kidd on Facebook.
"She talked about going back to school for nursing at age 25. She said they were going to go get food after leaving the park, so my niece asked me if we could go too, but I said no because we had other things to do. I would have never imagined that 5 minutes later, she would be gone," she wrote.
