Carlesa scored 27 points on the court just before she was killed.

“For this to happen, it’s a hurtful situation for our family now. It’s like losing a kid, losing a relative or losing a sibling,” said, Ecorse Girl’s Basketball Coach, Raul Jenkins.

Carlesa played ball for Ecorse High School and Henry Ford Academy, but coaches from throughout her sports career were always in contact.
