âBravely battling cancer yet againâ
On the night of April 28, 2025, just before 11:20 p.m., Jennifer James was inside her home when a bullet shattered the window, piercing her arm and chest, according to police reports.
Despite her injuries, she found the strength to call 911 and alert authorities that she had been shot.
By the time first responders arrived, Jamesâwho was reportedly undergoing chemotherapyâhad tragically already passed away.
âShe was courageously fighting cancer once again when tragedy struck and took her from us,â wrote JuliĂĄna King, who started a GoFundMe campaign to support Jenniferâs four childrenâtwo of whom were reportedly home during the shooting.
âJennifer was pure sunshine. Everyone who knew her described her as the kindest, most genuine soul theyâd ever met,â King shared.
âPut me in jailâ
On May 1, the Larimer County Sheriffâs Office announced the arrest of 20-year-old Ebenezer Worku in connection with the tragic shooting.

According to an affidavit reported by Fox affiliate KDVR News, Workuâwho claimed to suffer from âhomicidal schizophreniaââhad stopped his vehicle in the middle of the road near Jamesâ home while attempting to clean a gun given to him by his âadopted uncleâ for his April 11 birthday.
