Davidson’s brother talked to AL.com, saying the victim and Roberton had been dating for less than a year. He said, "Her plan was to get away from him. That’s what she was trying to do that night."

Sgt. LaQuitta Wade told the news outlet, "It’s sad. It’s a sad day. And it bothers us deeply because Nakita had four children who will be without a mother."
