GILLETTE, COLORADO - A woman remained on life support in a Colorado hospital on Tuesday after being shot in the head last week at a home in Gillette, according to a friend and court documents.
Sarah Holcomb, 38, of Casper, described the victim, identified in court records as Marissa Allen, as cheerful and outgoing.
“She would make the maddest person laugh," Holcomb said in a phone interview with Cowboy State Daily. “She would make everyone feel wanted and included.”
According to the Gillette police, officers responded to a home in the 1300 block of O’Henry Drive around 5 p.m. Thursday for a report of gunshots and people arguing.
It was there that they found Allen inside a garage with a gunshot wound and Javier Abeyta holding a handgun, states a probable cause affidavit filed in Campbell County District Court.
