Mother Visiting Son's Grave Shot Dead On His 'First Birthday In Heaven'

A 52-year-old Texas mother was shot and killed Tuesday at a cemetery while visiting her son’s grave for his "first birthday in heaven", according to police and the woman's ex-husband.

Yolanda N'Gaojia was fatally shot at the Calvary Baptist Church Garden of Memories Cemetery in Killeen at around 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 22, which would have marked her son Amir Tajai-Kineh N'Gaojia's 22nd birthday.

A news release from the Killeen Police Department confirmed a second victim suffered "non-life-threatening injuries, and was treated and released at the scene".

Yolanda’s ex-husband, Kineh N'Gaojia expressed his grief in a series of social media posts, saying: "I have no words because I can't believe this is real."

"This is stuff you see on movies but it has become our life. I can't believe you are gone."

"My children will never be the same again. We are all f***ed right now."

"Those bullets took a precious gem from us but gave us an Amazing Angel to guide us so you know we ain't going nowhere but up cause we know how hard you rode for your family."

"Thank you for making our lives complete we gonna miss you Soldier. WE LOVE YOU. Kiss Amir for me and tell him how much I/we love and miss him."

Amir died on New Year's Day earlier this year, according to an online obituary and Facebook posts from his father. It is not clear what his cause of death was.

On the day Yolanda died visiting his grave, Kineh posted that it was Amir's "first birthday in heaven".

The police are investigating the shooting, which they called an "isolated incident".

This is an ongoing investigation and no arrests have been reported yet. The investigators are appealing for any information about the shooting.
