  1. Rest Peacefully Beautiful 🙏🏾💕😪🕊️ — the killer they arrested looks like a normal dude, I wouldn’t have thought twice about accepting a cigarette at a bar. I’m so sorry this happened, it’s terrifying.

  2. Death by fashion…

  3. Don’t do drugs kids!!!

  4. A self inflicted homicide. What will they come up with next? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5. Imagine if she had been one of the people living on the street. It would have been chalked up as accidental and nothing done about it. Because she is young, white, and successful someone else is going to pay. She was an adult and she knew what she was doing. Her luck ran out.

  6. She was Art just like Andre Herring

  7. Obviously, Lady Gaga did it for the free promotion.

  8. How was she murdered if she ingested it herself? Whatever happened, condolences to all who love her. 😔🙏

  9. There are some really bad and nasty people out there. My heart goes to her family and friends.

  10. And the da goes after Trump. What a looser

  11. So the drugs are on the cigarettes? I'm confused, how are the victims being poisoned?

  12. Until people in government stand on a united front it will always be seen as individual problems in any one state. THE DRUG'S TRAFFICKED INTO AMERICA AND THE GOAL TO MURDER PEOPLE WITH LETHAL COMBINATION OF STREET DRUG'S IS A NATIONAL CRISIS. IT'S NOT ONE STATE OR ONE CITY BEING TRAFFICKED INTO OR ONE STATE ONE CITY HAVING AMERICAN PEOPLE MURDERED BY ILLICIT LETHAL COMBINATION OF STREET DRUG'S. IT'S TIME FOR ALL GOVERNMENT TO COLLABORATE TOGETHER AND WORK WITH AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES MEN AND WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER FEDERAL AGENCIES STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRAVEL AND STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
    IT NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY ALL GOVERNMENT TO STAND AGAINST MEXICO'S CARTEL'S AND THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO. AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO LISTEN TO ALL WARNINGS GIVEN BY AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND THE US STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL ADVISORIES.

  13. 👋 اجمل 🌹 من ❤ اجمل 🌹 من انوى بقلبه العمره زصلى في البت فكانه اعتمر وان شاء الله ستحدد لكل دوله جزء مقسوم حتى للمملكة نفسها والاولى هم لغير البلدان العربيه والاسلاميه والدول العربيه والاسلاميه الشئ اليسير الي العمره بهذا البيت تشعرك وكانج في عالم اخر غير الدنيا انشراح الصدر والطمإئنينه

  14. I’m confused. So was she drugged and robbed and died accidentally?

  15. So how did it happen? She left the bar and they gave her the drugs and then she died and they robbed her ?

  16. this title is so insensitive, this woman was murdered and is reported as someone who dressed lady gaga and not her name…

  17. This fentanyl is starting to get deadlier scary that people could use it that way

  18. Hail Mary, full of Grace, the LORD is with Thee.

    Blessed art Thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, JESUS.

    Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

    Amen.

  19. You can thank Joe blow for this with his wide open borders policies. Impeach Biden.

  20. GOTTA LOVE BLACK PEOPLE…

  21. I hope it wasn't the result of a Bad Romance

  22. They moved so fast to call this a homicide..

    I am wondering why mississippi hasn't ruled homicide on the death of Rasheed Carter.

    A young black man that has been lynched early in march 2023!

    How is this national news and not that??

  23. How sick and evil!! Hopefully, more will f these murderers can be caught. My condolences to her family.

  24. How sad…so sorry to her family…

  25. Well learned something new here. Fentanly and PFF para-fluorofentanyl are different. Didnt even know PFF was a thing but it is 100x strogner than regular fentanyl which is 50x stronger than morphine🤣😭😭😭😭

  26. Certain species are on verge of exitintion.

  27. His eye is on the sparrow;

  28. "It's a man's job to approach and buy me a drink"

    The man who buys drinks:

  29. Young 35 year old 🤡

  30. this is proof that cops are useless……

  31. Sad the couch and her nxt bless there souls

  32. Current drugs are a hair trigger.. random laced ref Michael Kenneth Williams RIP
    Not walking it just it is..

  33. What is going in this country?

  34. It was an overdose come on now. Where is the rest of the evidence that concludes she was drugged?

  35. Life in the Naked City.

  36. Don't go chasin mud puddles

  37. Designer drugs can be dangerous 😏

  38. A liberal who voted democrat and supported criminals fell victim to democratic criminals of NYC. Sad times
