On Sunday, Moose’s brother and others who knew her came together to try to continue to process the loss of Moose.

The growing memorial the 100 block of West First Street is the exact location where authorities found Moose on the ground suffering from the stab wound to the neck around 2:15 a.m. Friday.

At last report, nobody had been arrested for the crime.

But Moose’s close friend tells told FOX 21 on Sunday she believes it’s related to a past relationship she said Moose couldn’t get away from.

She’d been trying to get away for two weeks,” said Karissa Grier, a close friend of Moose. “I just hope we get justice for my friend Chantel, that’s all I’m really focused and worried about. That’s all we want is justice for Chantal.”

Family and friends describe Moose as a jokester and always wanting to laugh. Moose is also a mother of one daughter.
