Meme White, a relative of Watson's, remembered seeing her last night at the Stop n’ Go across the street. “She’s a good person, and this should have happened to nobody,” said White. “It’s a sad thing,” she continued. 

Several people were handcuffed and taken by TPD for questioning. TPD Sgt. Joe Heffernan said the investigation is on-going.
