The shooting death of 29-year-old Mallisa Lundy left her family members heartbroken and wondering if some sort of intervention might have prevented her death.

A relative of Lundy -- who did not want to be identified for this story out of fear of retaliation -- said Mallisa was in the process of leaving the boyfriend she had been dating the past two months.

"She got a hold of some pastors down there in Mobile and she was getting her life together for her three children," said the relative.

The Mobile Police Department reported that Lundy was found shot inside her RV at 10:17 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 at the Sawgrass Landing Waterfront RV Park in the 3200 block of Hamilton Boulevard.

At this time, the Mobile Police Department has not identified any suspects in the case.

But, the relative said Lundy's death unfolded in front of her 12-year-old son, while her 5-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son hid in another room in the RV. The relative said an argument began as Lundy and her children were about to leave the RV.

"She had, I guess, the boyfriend's phone in her hand and she told him she was leaving and he said, 'No you're not,'" said the relative.

Lundy instructed the 12-year-old to run and hide with his two younger siblings.

"But as a 12-year-old boy he wanted to make sure his mama was OK and he came back," said the relative.

After safely hiding his sister and brother, the 12-year-old came back into the room where Lundy and her boyfriend were.

"He seen that she was still on the phone and the gun went off and she was gone," said the relative.

The relative said Lundy had told her mother that a week earlier her boyfriend tried to kill her when she decided to leave.

"Her mother begged her to let her call the police, but I think she was scared," said the relative. "I really wish she would have and maybe she'd still be here today."

The relative said that the family didn't know much about Lundy's boyfriend. The relative says Lundy was from Andalusia, Alabama and had left her hometown to go to Mobile with the man about two months ago.

"About three weeks ago, we could see she added him on her Facebook page, but she never mentioned that it was a boyfriend or anything like that," said the relative.

The relative said Lundy had been separated from her husband for a few years after the couple had four children together.

She had recently been put on probation for a misdemeanor charge in Mobile County and had one of her children living with her mother at the time of the incident.

The relative said with the help of a local church Lundy was about to start a job at a nursery in the Theodore area.

"It hurts me, because she was getting her life back on track and this man robbed her away from four precious lives and two families," said the relative.
