What was meant to be an ordinary trip to a nearby shop ended in unimaginable tragedy, leaving a grieving father to treasure what would become his last moments with his 10-year-old daughter, Shani Coke.

Speaking with quiet heartbreak, Ashton 'Junior' Coke recalled that it was only last Saturday when his 20-year-old daughter, Shani, visited him at his home in Troy. He spoke lovingly of the young woman whose life was cut tragically short, saying the memory of that visit is one he will cherish forever.

According to Ashton, Shani left her grandmother's home at about 3 p.m. on Tuesday to go to a nearby grocery shop but never returned.
