A Colorado single mom who managed to beat cancer four times was tragically killed when a stranger who claimed he was just cleaning his gun fired bullets into her home, cops said.
Jennifer James, 49, was fatally shot when 20-year-old Ebenezer Worku allegedly opened fire from his car while parked outside the victim’s house in Berthoud, north of Denver, on April 28.
