Investigators at the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office are looking for leads after a mother and grandmother is found beaten to death in her Pontiac home.
Jacqueline Shelton, 53, was found murdered inside her bedroom on Putnam Ave. in Pontiac on Sunday afternoon.
Her daughter, Nakashia Jones, said she remembers her mother as full of fun.
"Dancing everywhere she goes, she's snapping her fingers, she's popping, hey! You know, that was just her,” said Jones.
Now Jones is left wondering why.
"I feel like I've been gut punched,” said Jones.
Jacqueline Shelton was fondly known as Bunny to those who loved her. She leaves behind two daughters and five grandchildren.
Jones has not been able to tell her kids yet.
"I don't know what to tell my babies. I don't know what to tell them to make it okay, because it's not okay,” said Jones.
Monday night, dozens of friends and family members gathered to light a candle in Bunny’s memory.
Her sister LaVonna Bender helped organize the vigil. She said Bunny lived on her own and did not have enemies. She wants answers.
"We want the public to know that she was loved by many. She had family that loved her dearly. We want the public to know this a crime that needs to be solved,” said Bender.
