Officers returned to the street on May 19 and found Mason unresponsive in her condo. She died two days later.
Throughout the investigation, Mason’s family and friends have held multiple vigils and rallies claiming she was a victim of domestic violence. Mason’s mother, Laura Fiscus-Mattson still believes her daughter was murdered by her boyfriend.
