Gaither’s daughter, Willette Eley, said her mom had four children. She said Gaither was raising one of Singleton’s sons. Police are still investigating whether Dior lived with Gaither.
The investigation started when police showed up at Gaither’s home. They found her with a gunshot to the head.
Neighbor Rebecca Rowe said Gaither was a grandmother for the whole neighborhood.
“She was real sweet. She loved children,” said Rowe. “She took care of her grandson and she just always had children around, and she kept a lot of children. She had a lot of relatives that came over and brought their children. She just loved children.”
