On Nov. 27, Kassa was found dead in the trunk of a car in Dearborn, Mich., that was driven by her girlfriend, 36-year-old Dominique Hardwick.
Authorities were able to track Hardwick’s Dodge to Michigan using license plate readers. After officials closed in on the vehicle and shots were fired, Hardwick fatally shot herself in the head, the Michigan State Police said in a statement on Twitter.
According to the statement, Kassa appeared “to have trauma that was not a result from the crash.”
