The Filipino American community is calling for justice after Frances Lucero, a mother of two, was killed in Daly City, California.
Police say the 27-year-old was shot and killed in front of her children (ages 3 and 4) on Monday, March 6. They arrested her partner Romier Narag shortly after the incident, FOX 2 reports.
According to ABS CBN News, the Filipino American community in South San Francisco gathered Friday, March 17, to honor Lucero. Friends and family members shared photos and memories.

A GoFundMe has been set up to cover the cost of funeral services. As of today, March 19, it has raised over $44,000.
“We are devastated by Frances’ unexpected loss and were not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service. We want to give Frances the memorial she truly deserves, honor her memory and say our last goodbyes,” a post on the page reads.
