“On December 9th, Lisa Young tragically lost Andris Wofford to murder. Andris was her only daughter, who left behind two beautiful little girls, Ava (6 years) and Averie (9 months),” aGoFundMe page states.
Wofford, 29, was found dead in her Chicago apartment after her family had not heard from her for several hours and requested a welfare check, theChicago Sun-Timesreports. She had been shot in the head. The father of her younger daughter, 29-year-old Pierre Tyler, has been charged with first-degree murder.
The next day, Wofford told her family she was going to confront Tyler because she believed he was married to the mother of his other child.

The next morning, Wofford’s parents called police, who found her body inside the front door. She had been shot with a 9mm bullet, which matched the caliber of the pistol Tyler allegedly told detectives he had left at his girlfriend’s apartment. The gun was never found.
According to her family, Wofford had been dating Tyler for almost three years. Wofford, a Chicago native, worked as a social worker before her death.
Wofford had previously filed one domestic dispute complaint, however, charges were never filed. Tyler remains behind bars without bail. He was relieved of all police powers shortly after Wofford was found dead. Attorney information was not available Monday.
