However, on that day, September 2nd, everything changed.

Kendra had been in her parking garage at her apartment complex, Gables Park 17, when a man just all of a sudden walked up to her and shot her in the back of her head.

Completely without reason, without warning, and completely out of the blue, Kendra was dead.

When police arrived to the scene, they found that Kendra's purse had been taken, so initially they thought that maybe she was killed as a part of a robbery gone wrong.

That is where the initial investigation took them.

Because otherwise, those around Kendra knew her as a sweet, gentle, compassionate woman who worked with kids every day.

No one knew anyone who would want to hurt her.

She didn't have enemies.

In fact, everyone who knew her loved her.

Of course, one of the first people that investigators had to look into was the man she was dating, Ricky.

Police took him in and questioned him and he basically said what everybody else said.

That he had no reason to want to hurt her and he certainly didn't know anybody else who would want to hurt her.

But police didn't look into Ricky for too long because he was at work when this happened so there was no way that he could have been responsible.

So once again, police were at square one.

However, only about a week into the investigation, police were taken in a completely different direction than anything they could have imagined.

So when police first started their investigation, they looked at the surveillance video from the apartment complex and they found that the shooter was most likely driving a black Jeep Cherokee.

Police didn't really have much more to go off of, so they released the images of the black Jeep to the media in hopes that somebody would recognize the car.

That is when a man named Jose Ortiz reached out to the police saying that this was actually his car.

He said that on the morning of September 2nd, he loaned his car to a couple of friends, a 31-year-old woman named Brenda Delgado and another 24-year-old woman named Crystal Cortez.

He told the police that initially, after seeing the Jeep on the news, he met up with Brenda and asked her about it.
