You get that the bottom line is that a life was lost and a young boy has no mother. I’m glad there was some sort of reconciliation between you two (albeit through another person). At the end of the day, you all could have had the seeds for an incident to have taken place that we all would have regretted – perhaps with both of you suffering horrible circumstances. That’s how all of the violence starts…

It makes me view her in a different light, especially hearing about her son. I have reverence and respect for the dead, but with all due respect, she came across as an angry, ghetto, trashy person. Not at all saying she is or isn’t, but that’s the way she presented herself to me. About 2 months ago, Donitra threatened to kill me after an argument we had in our college class when she was cheating on an assignment and I spoke up in front of everyone and told her to stop cheating which the professor heard. He wasn’t angry, but told her to stop cheating. Since the assignment was graded in class, she quickly learned that despite her attempt to cheat, she still got the assignment horrifically incorrect. She yelled at the teacher for pointing out her mistakes and for letting me tell on her, and the professor in turn had to yell at her… and my professor never gets mad. He is the most mellow and kind teacher a student can have. She followed me after class and threatened to hit me, then threatened to shoot me. I’ll never forget her exact words: “I swear on my son, I’ll kill you if I see you again. I’d rather get kicked out of school than see you alive.” How can someone so easily throw her child’s name around when threatening others with murder? Why use an innocent child’s name to swear on in the name of such a hateful act? I reported her to the campus police and they talked to her and she apologized, saying she was just mad, had a “bad day”, and spoke out of anger. She told the cop to apologize to me since she wasn’t allowed to speak to me or else she would be expelled. She stopped coming to class a month ago since she was getting kicked out of her apartment and was trying to find housing. Then our professor announced today she died. It’s ironically tragic how she was threatening to murder me over such a small disagreement in class and it almost got her kicked out of our college. Now she gets murdered. I feel so sorry for her life and poor choices she made… she was clearly struggling with her own issues and demons and I was on the receiving end of one of her “bad days”, as she had told the cop. I hate to admit it, but I truly believe she had terrible karma and it got her back in the end. I could say she was a product of her environment and I’m sure she was a good person at heart, but her actions towards me were so insane, that it leads me to believe I was not the first person she threatened to shoot over nothing. It may very well have been this attitude and lack of respect towards others that sealed her terrible fate. Either way, her situation is tragic. May she rest in peace and I hope her soul finds peace wherever it is.

Thanks for the wonderful feedback. Regina’s jacket and ring were made by one of our Cameroonian sisters, Kibonen Nfi, who lives in New York. She has had a store on Etsy (nothing there now) but she does custom stuff. Let me know if you’re interested in connecting with her and I’ll do the intro :)
