Summary
Just one day after Keaira Hudson's estranged husband was released from jail on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge, 45-year-old Adam Bennefield shot her dead.
Just days before her death Hudson posted a video of herself being brutally beaten by Bennefield, on Facebook.
As Hudson left to take her children to school just around the corner, she put on a bulletproof vest, but that would not protect her from multiple shots.
Bennefield reportedly smashed into the front of Hudson's vehicle, pulled a shotgun, and opened fire with children in the car.
