posted (August 31, 2015)

As we told you in the story, 27 year old Marcy Humes was also shot and killed along with Russell Hyde on Friday night. Our sources say that Hyde told Humes to open the door to the house after they saw the flashlights but that was when things took a turn. The gunmen, apaprently thinking that Humes was Hyde – shot her twice – once to the chest and once to the leg. We spoke to her family yesterday and they told us that Humes was just caught in the middle of a chaotic situation.

"Your daughter was with Russell Hyde right? So do you know when they started to talk?"

Maria Samuels- Mother of Deceased

"Nothing, nothing, I no know nothing. One month I no see my daughter to talk to; I no see her, I no hear her voice. Till I gone meet her dead on that bed, then only then I see her. I go to my work 8 o'clock in the morning; I come home come straighten off and I no see her, I don't know until I gone meet her dead."

"My sister was very friendly and straight forward because if she had something to tell you; believe me, she will because she's a big person but she's very friendly, always the smile. Always the smile and she could cook. Number one she could cook and hair nails; when you want dolls up everything. Show grounds, September, a wedding, whatever. Call on Marcy and you have the best hair stylist. So everybody done the say that September is here so what will they do. It's very hard and I just say that god takes only the best; that is my comfort right now to really get through this and because I need to me strong as well for my ma; because my ma have pressure and my sister same thing. I really need to be the strong one to cope with this and give my sister a very good funeral."
