Jennifer James, a 49-year-old single mother who had battled cancer four times, was fatally shot in her home in Berthoud, Colorado, on April 28, allegedly by 20-year-old Ebenezer Worku, who claimed the shooting was accidental while cleaning his gun. James called 911 after being struck by a bullet that penetrated her window but succumbed to her injuries despite life-saving efforts. Worku, who has been charged with first-degree murder, admitted to accidentally discharging his firearm, believing it did not hit anyone, and is currently held on a $1.25 million bond.
