A family friend told Channel 9’s Evan Donovan that Sylver got mixed up with the wrong people.

He said she was a great woman from a nice family. Her parents had died. Sylver’s only immediate family member was her sister.

Family members set up a GoFundMe account to help pay for funeral expenses.

Detectives have charged 26‑year‑old Adaysia Yahel Coles in connection with the case.

On Thursday, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team worked with the Bessemer City Police Department and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force to locate Coles in Birmingham, Alabama. She was then taken into custody without incident.

Coles will eventually be extradited to Charlotte and transferred to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office. She has been charged with murder.
