The police reports claimed that they received an anonymous call about the attack and then they responded immediately. Upon reaching the scene, they transported the victim to the San Fernando General Hospital around 7:55 p.m. where she succumbed to her injuries.

Authorities also claimed that the victim ‘Wildman’ was a state witness in her brother Atiba Wildman's murder case, at Old Train Line in Marabella, which occurred in May 2022, where he was fatally shot during a family lime. “The case had come up for hearing earlier that day, the police stated.”
