“She was close to a lot of people,” said Kayla Ratliff. “Yes, everyone who met her loved her.”

Kelsey moved to Denver with her husband a few years ago.

But on June 29, Denver police responded to a call of a gunshot in an apartment. When officers arrived, they found Kelsey dead after being shot, according to Denver television station KUSA.

“I remember saying ‘no’ because it was impossible,” said Kylie Al-Nubu’at. “It’s impossible that her kind-hearted soul had just disappeared.”

According to court documents, Roberts-Gariety’s husband arrived later. He told police he knew a person in town who was “having problems with them.”

Her husband identified him as Ernest Cunningham.

An affidavit at his arrest says he had been working with Kelsey’s husband and was fired for failing to show up. After that, Cunningham began calling her husband and threatening him, the affidavit says.

A witness saw a man running from the area of ​​the shooting and filmed the person running away in the car. The license plate was traced to Cunningham and police arrested him the next day.

Her sisters told KUSA they want justice for Kelsey and will not stop fighting for her.

“Her family loves her,” Al-Nubu’at said. “They will be here screaming her name every day. We will never give up.”

Kelsey’s family says she was an animal lover and hopes to do something in her name to support an animal rescue.

Cunningham’s next court date is scheduled for next month in Colorado.
