They pronounced her DOA,
Dusk and Dawn bore witness to the assault,
She was mature, fit, yet troubled,
He, a young lion, but morally lost,
Her duty was to protect someone's property,
Yet her own property was senselessly destroyed.

This is to the memory of security guard, Denise Smith, who lost her life, July 17, 2021, while she was in the act of making her final rounds before ending her shift and leaving for the morning. Her body was discovered, July 18, by her relief. Tacoma police caught and arrested her assailant, July 18, 2021. He was 26 years old. She was 41.
I worked with her on another site. I have a lot of questions that will probably remain unanswered.
