  • A 78-year-old woman is dead and a 19-year-old is in custody after a shooting in Jackson Monday night.
  • We caught up with family members at the scene who were mourning the loss.
  • Watch the video above to see how they're remembering Nora Luna.

Monday night, the police arrived at 415 Quarry Street at 10:58pm, where 78-year old Nora Luna was shot in the head. Luna passed away shortly afterwards at Henry Ford Hospital in Jackson.
A 19-year old suspect was arrested at a residence nearby in the 600 block on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Nora's family shared their shock as they began to cope with the news of her passing. Her brother, Eleazar De Los Santos shares, "My day has been like a nightmare. I got woken up at 11 o'clock at night to find out that my sister had been shot."

"Grasping that and dealing with that..." Eleazar continued, "At first, you're just in disbelief. You hear about it happening at other places to to her people, and just the idea that it can happen to someone you know, especially a family member...like I said, it's hard to grasp."

Eleazar goes on to share how his sister, Nora, was once a rock for her family.

"She was kind. She was...my big sister. She gave me advice when I needed it and, she was as good a person you can be. I miss her terribly."

The suspect in custody is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at the Jackson County Courthouse.
