Femicide: Utah Woman was Killed by Her Boyfriend

Tyrese Cisneros was 24 years old. The last time she spoke to her sister, she told her that she had made a plan to leave her 2-year-old abusive relationship.

She was shot dead two hours after that conversation on September 25.

Speaking with PEOPLE, Tyrese said, “The last thing she had messaged me was a couple of hours before she had passed away, and word for word, she said, 'I'm going to see if I can rebuild a [legal] case on Jayden.’ I want him to be put away [behind bars] so he can never hurt me or anyone else again. I had told her, ‘I think you do whatever you need. Karma will get him, and a few hours later, she passed away.’”

Funeral services are scheduled for this week.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with funeral expenses.
