"It’s so shocking and so sad for something like this to take place in an area like this where the crime is very low and it’s just a shame," said Bell. "It’s so sad."
Hopper says the woman who died was a kind person.
"She was a good person," said Hopper. "She’d help you out. If you needed help. She’d help you. If you needed a place to stay, she’d let you stay."
Hopper says he's currently working to find homes for the victim's cats. He says she had several of them.
