Hitchens' family said she was a mother of five and had just left home to go to the store when she was shot, 6abc Action News reported.
"My mom didn't deserve this," Hitchens' daughter, who wanted to remain anonymous, said to 6abc Action News. "She wasn't a bad person. She wasn't a bad person at all."
