HAGERSTOWN - A Hagerstown woman who was killed in the first block of East Franklin Street likely was headed home to her baby when gunfire erupted, her stepmother said Wednesday.
"She was just loved by everybody, so I don't understand why this had to happen. I don't see her having any kind of enemies at all," Talita Rodriguez, 35, said as she sat across the street from a memorial to her stepdaughter.
Trisiviah Rodriguez, 20, died early Monday. Demetrius "Meech" Pierre McDaniels, 27, of 1052 D Noland Drive in Hagerstown, remained behind bars on murder charges Wednesday night.
According to family members and friends, Rodriguez was planning to start classes to become a medical assistant.
Friends and family held a sign Wednesday asking for donations to help support her daughter, Taliss, who they said turned 4 months old Tuesday.
