The mother of Mackay, who was shot and died, was regarded as a stunning, vivacious individual with a golden heart.
In front of two kids, Natalie Frahm, 34, was shot and died on Wednesday night in her own driveway.
Her loved ones, neighbors, and neighborhood were in sorrow today while the police persisted in looking for the reason for the purported murder.
“I was inspired by her. She was a very proud mother and fiercely strong,” the woman’s acquaintance said.
The 34-year-old was pursuing a paramedic degree.
“Nicolaas Van Der Zee, her friend, described her as a bubbly, beautiful person with a heart of gold.”
Greg Williamson, the mayor of Mackay, denounced the shooting. “This is just a random act of ultimate violence that has ended a young lady’s life, and have terrified a couple of young people who will have to live with this for the rest of their lives,” he stated.
According to the police, on Wednesday afternoon, as Frahm and the children, ages 11 and 12, were sitting in her car parked at a house on Robb Place in South Mackay, Ryan Geoffrey Cole allegedly shot her.
Once the two kids fled for help, Cole is accused of shooting Jimmy McGill, 66, who the police claimed was responding to Frahm’s call for assistance.
Before the police arrived, the alleged gunman drove away from the scene in his silver Mitsubishi Triton.
For hours, police blocked up many roadways.
Cole was apprehended by police when they followed his vehicle to a fuel station on the Bruce Highway close to Hilton Street.
The 31-year-old used a video hookup to appear in court today.
The suspected attack’s motivation, according to the police, is yet unknown.
Searches are still ongoing to locate the revolver that was purportedly used.
“We’re working really hard to look into the background of Mr Cole, to find out what his movements were prior to the incident and afterwards,” a representative for the police stated.
A fundraiser has been established by community members for the family of Frahm.
