Unfortunately, Karina ended up crossing paths with Chanel Lewis. Furthermore with the bleak reality that gender violence is so common that even in a park, in one of the most advanced cities in the world and in broad daylight, you could still be confronted with this crime.
Karina was found dead days later, with clear signs of violence, in a wooded area of the park. Her body was already in a state of decomposition.
