This is an absolutely heartbreaking and senseless tragedy. Daisha Ketchum’s story is one of a mother’s deep love and protection for her son—she was just trying to keep him safe, and yet, this devastating turn of events took her life in the blink of an eye. The circumstances around her death are chilling, and it’s hard to fathom the pain her family, especially her son, must be going through. What makes this loss even more difficult to process is the timing—just hours before what should have been a moment of celebration at her high school reunion. Instead, her life was taken in such a violent, unexpected way. Her devotion to her son, her role as a mother, and the light she brought to her community will not be forgotten.

It’s good to hear that the authorities are investigating, and hopefully, justice will be served. The Las Vegas community, and anyone who knew Daisha, will carry the weight of this loss for a long time. I can only hope that in time, her family and loved ones find some peace, even as they navigate the pain of such a tragic and senseless loss.
