Neighbors say Lutes, or Trish as they called her, was found not to far from her house and may have been going to check her mail when she was shot and later died on the scene.
They say Trish was a mother and a wife, and was well liked in her community.
“She’s a great person. In a million years you would have never thought, in a million years, this would have happened. Everybody loved herm” said Mary Allen.
Investigators say at this time, they don’t know what led to the shooting or who may be responsible. They’re asking anyone with any information on this case to give state police a call.
