Family members have since set up a GoFundMe to help Williams’ young daughter.
LaTanya Holston said Williams was driving her passenger in an Uber when she was killed, leaving behind a 3-year-old girl.
“At 27 years old, she was taken from us, but most importantly, she was stripped of being able to raise her three-year-old daughter, Londyn,” Holston wrote. “She was an amazing mother, daughter, sister, niece and friend. We have truly lost an angel.”
