CLEVELAND — If you ask 26-year-old Antwoina Carter's family, they'll tell you she was always the center of attention, funny and witty.
"She was always smiling, she was always laughing, she was always cooking, she was always joking," Carter's Aunt Peaches said.
Her family and friends gathered Monday evening to remember the best parts about her, after her life was cut short last weekend.
The mother of five was shot and killed in the early morning hours of March 17 after a car was following her, shooting at her vehicle as she was driving on East 105th near Garfield Avenue in Cleveland's Glenville neighborhood. She had called police an hour earlier, claiming someone was threatening her at her house on Garfield.
Police were there talking to her mom when she came speeding down the road as she was being shot at, and police then fired shots at her vehicle. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office stated that its "preliminary testing does not indicate that police activity was directly responsible" for the 26-year-old Carter's death.
"Who would do this, you know what I mean? Especially for no reason," Peaches said.
There was a break in the case Monday, with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department telling 3News a woman named Trinity Ford was arrested for obstruction of justice in connection to the incident.
"We were told that they made an arrest and I am ecstatic, just the fact that we know there's going to be justice," Peaches said.
As her family is making sure that she will be remembered by the legacy she leaves behind, not the tragic way her life ended.
"She always found a way to bring the bright side out of everything, that's the reason why its making it so hard," Peaches said.
