It's March 26th. This is Kansas News today, driven by AI. A 21-year-old new mom from Kansas City, Yasmini Herrera, was killed in a murder suicide on March 15th, just 18 days after her son. Nicholas was born on February 25th. Police found her and the baby's father, 21-year-old Victor Campos, shot inside their Northland apartment. Yasmini had big dreams, like going back to school to become a veterinarian and taking her boy to the zoo in parks. Family members describe a happy barbecue the night before at her mom's house, where everyone played with the babies and took pictures. Yasmini and her family were especially close, and her partner seemed insistent on leaving Nicholas there overnight. Communication stopped around 10-30 that evening, and the next morning, police tapes surrounded the apartment. Relatives are heartbroken, calling Yasmini the heart of their large family with 15 siblings. She was loving and compassionate, especially toward her 12-year-old autistic brother,

whom she helped raise from when he was a baby. They now question miss signs of controlling behavior in her relationship, stressing that domestic violence can strike anyone, regardless of age. Police recently shared more details, saying Yasmini was shot in the head while in bed. Her funeral is set for Friday, with a go-fun me helping cover costs and support Nicholas. The baby is in foster care for now, but her mom and stepdad have started adoption proceedings and staying close touch with updates and photos. The family is rallying around little Nicholas, determined to give him the love his mom wanted for him, while seeking prayers for their healing ahead.
