CHICAGO - illiNews -- No mother should have to go through what LaKashia Collins has gone through since the fatal passing of her 22-year old daughter, Isis Ogunti, who crashed into a tree on 103rd Street on Saturday, December 20th, 2025 at around 8:30am, after losing control of her vehicle while rushing her boyfriend to the hospital, who had been shot in the head. They were leaving on their way to work towards Little Caesars Pizza, where they were both managers, when a car pulled up beside them and opened fire, striking the passenger in the head and shooting the tires out. The shooting occurred near 103rd Street and Luella Avenue, right outside of the 4th District Chicago Police Department station, according to Collins, as stated in a Christmas Eve press conference. The passenger survived his injuries.

"Empty-torn-hurt-angry-disappointed-and devastated," are the words used by LaKashia Collins to describe her feelings of loss around the holidays since the passing of her beloved daughter. "Isis was an amazing young lady. She was a sweet girl – a hard worker. She was beautiful inside-out. She didn't deserve this," she said. "They don't understand what they did to our family. Our family loved Isis. Isis was loved by everybody not just her mother and her father or her siblings. You crushed us. This is the worst Christmas present that we could ever receive!" The highly-publicized accident led to the circulation of both rumors and graphic photos across the internet, causing outrage and pain for Isis Ogunti's family members.

Shortly after the accident, graphic photos and videos began circulating around social media platforms like Facebook, depicting the horrific accident scene, showing her daughter's legs dangling out of the dark-blue Honda-CRV, which had been cut in half by a tree upon impact. She pleaded with content creators to delete the graphic photographs and videos because she didn't want to remember her daughter in that devastating fashion. "For us to see our daughter hanging out of the car – people sharing that video, they did more looking than helping...you don't want to see your loved ones out there like that. It's painful enough, OK? The image that I have of her, I will never forget. If I would've heard that my daughter was in a regular accident, then that would have been one thing. But now they've put that image in my mind. I think about it day and night," she woefully explains.
