Police found blood and damage on Estrada’s truck, and he was arrested. During questioning, Estrada denied involvement in her death, then claimed it was an accident, according to the report.

Family members started a GoFundMe fundraising campaign after the victim’s death.

“We are all going through the loss of losing such a beautiful soul,” the page read. “This was a person who lit up the room like a firecracker and her tragic death came way too soon. We are asking for any donations you can share to help lay her to rest so she can spread her angel wings and fly high with our mom and dad by her side.”
