- Video shows funeral service and photos of Veniesha
- Veniesha Hanks was shot and killed in southwest Bakersfield in December, and more than one month later, her family continues to search for answers from police about what led up to her death.
One local family mourns the loss and celebrates the life of Veniesha Hanks, the woman killed in a shooting in southwest Bakersfield in December, and the family continues to search for answers about what led up to her death.
Dozens of people joined in a song of encouragement as the family of Veniesha Cobb laid her to rest after she was shot and killed in southwest Bakersfield on December 15th.
“Veniesha was everything to everybody,” Sophila Turner, Veiesha’s cousin, said.
Turner tells me she lit up the room, and with crowds of people attending her funeral, Turner says she knew she was loved by many, but she emphasized the family’s frustration that someone hasn’t been charged for Venisha’s death.
“Do you know where they’re at in the investigation right now?” 23ABC’s Dominique LaVigne asked.
