Police in Hobart, IN are pleading for help solving the shooting deaths of Destiny Jackson and Nazirah Muhammad.
Destiny Jackson, 20, and her partner, 19-year-old Nazirah Muhammad, were found shot to death in their apartment back on Nov. 4. It was later determined they were killed in the early morning hours of Nov 3, police said.
It was an emotional press conference from both police and family members Wednesday, as they pled for anyone who knows anything please to come forward with that information more than two months after these horrific murders. "My family is broken. We are heartbroken. My sister didn't even make it to 21. She was so excited. She had two months to her 21st birthday and she didn't make it," said Jackson's sister, Dominique Coleman.WATCH: Hobart police provide update on double homicide investigationPolice said the killer used a table to get to a second-floor balcony and enter the apartment through an unlocked patio door before shooting them several times. "It appeared as if they used a table and pulled themselves up over the railing and entered the apartment through the sliding glass doors," said Capt. James Gonzales, with the Hobart Police Dept.Family members returned to the complex Wednesday, offering each other comfort and passing out fliers to residents. "They were kids -- or you can say young adults -- out in the world. You done it to two women who were trying to find a way," said Muhammad's father, Kevin Gower. Loved ones said the apartment was Jackson's first time living on her own. She and Muhammad, had only moved in last June. "Her dream was to be a model. She was ambitious," Gower said about his daughter. "She was bold. She was a risk taker. She was beautiful."In addition to calling on the public's help, police said they are still waiting on lab results for some forensic evidence collected at the apartment. Evidence they hope will be instrumental in identifying the person who killed these two women.
