The police "do not suspect any outside parties are involved at this time" and have classified the case as a "Homicide/Suicide," as stated in the release.

Jonathan Gonzalez-Hilario, Jenny's nephew and her daughter's cousin is now her sole provider, he explained on a GoFundMe campaign page.

"She was pure, kind and full of life. To my Aunt Jenny, her daughter was her world."
