On July 10, Flores had apparently discovered an AirTag inside her car, CBS News reports, citing prosecutors. After her brother investigated the Apple tracking device, he reportedly learned that the last four digits of the AirTag’s phone number matched Henry’s phone number.

Two days later, Henry allegedly confronted Flores at work about removing the tracking device, and allegedly threatened to hurt her family if she broke contact with him, CBS News reports. Flores later filed another protection of abuse order.

A manager reportedly saw Henry fleeing the scene and identified him to police as the suspected shooter, according to the court documents. Henry allegedly fled the scene in a Ford Focus, which was quickly tracked down through license plate readers, CBS News and Fox 32 report.

“Unfortunately my sister was a victim of harassment and stalking from an individual who wasn’t even her boyfriend, it was a “friend” who became obsessive,” the woman’s sister claimed on the fundraising site.

“This turned fatal and on July 13th at 9am he ended my sister’s life on what we thought would be another normal Thursday,” she continues. “I sit here still waiting for her to come home.
