GoFundMe account set up for family of shooting victim Chelsie Kirschten

A GoFundMe account has been established for the family of shooting victim Chelsie Lynn Kirschten.

Kirschten, 23, was shot to death Thursday night while stopped at a red light at the intersection of State and Fortification in Jackson. The investigation into the shooting, described by authorities as a random act, is ongoing. The single shot that killed Kirschten was fired through the driver's side window.

Writes Kimberly Gagliardi, who set up the account: "There aren't enough words to describe the person Chelsie was. She was beautiful, funny, outgoing, a shoulder to lean on, a friend to call at 3 in the morning, and most importantly, she was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a best friend to many. She never held anything back. If she said it, she thought it. And that's what I loved most about her.

"Funeral costs can get unaffordably high, as we all know. So let's come together and make it a little easier on her precious family during this difficult time. If you feel it in your heart to donate, this is where you can."
