Montest Mincey, 44, had never attended the event before, family members said.

“Just get out and do something new and different.” She was so excited to enjoy her girlfriends and a tragedy happened there,” said her brother, who wished to remain anonymous. “Montest was a loving, sharing, caring, loving person, everyone is. loved.”

Gunfire erupted shortly after 10 p.m. along Southland Drive, Rock Hill police said.

Police are trying to determine what sparked the violence that also left a 21-year-old man dead and are asking for help from the community. They have dedicated a tip line for information: 803-325-2678.

“I think it's a great thing, but if anyone knows anything about it, know what I'm saying, this is a mother who had children here,” the victim's brother told Channel 9 .

Mincey was a mother of three, worked in the food industry and grew up in Great Falls.

His brother attributes his death to current culture.

“Too many kids with too many guns, too much Facebook and too much rap music,” he said.

The family is now coping with their loss, which has been particularly difficult for their three children aged 10, 17 and 21.

“A good woman, just a good-hearted, church-going person, I miss her,” the brother said.

His colleagues are also grieving, he said.

“A tragic loss,” he said.
