On August 23, the Austell Fire Department responded to a brush fire near Jerkins Boulevard and Landers Street. Upon arrival, they found a vehicle fully engulfed in flames. After extinguishing the fire, the vehicle was towed to a wrecker yard.

She described Beauty as a kind-hearted individual who never caused any trouble and was loved by everyone. Kimbery was shocked by the brutality of the crime, stating that her daughter did not deserve such treatment.
