 According to Catherine's mother, Cynthia Quinn, her daughter was called by someone she knew in the middle of the night needing help.

"When they went to help these people, for whatever reason, a gun was pulled and my son-in-law and my daughter are now dead. Her husband was shot in the face, the head and the hand. She was shot in the stomach, all in front of my granddaughter.”
