Shortly before 7am local time on Monday May 5 emergency services rushed to a residence in Keithville, in response to a welfare call. The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office said that police officers on the scene tried to engage with an individual inside the house but were unsuccessful.

A short time later officers at the scene heard a single from inside the residence, at which point a drone was deployed to conduct a thorough search the residence from above. After analysing the drone footage deputies were able to confirm that there were four deceased individuals inside the property.

Kara's cousin created a GoFundMe to help raise money to help cover funeral expenses and to support Kara through this difficult time. A message posted on the page reads: "On the morning of May 5th, our family’s was shattered and my cousin, Kara, experienced an unimaginable tragedy. She lost her baby girl in a heartbreaking and sudden event.

"Adalynn Mae was just two years old. She was beautiful, so intelligent, and always full of joy. She was the brightest light in Kara’s life and truly the sweetest little girl you could ever meet. Instead of spending this Mother’s Day weekend with her baby, she will be laying her to rest. No mother should ever have to feel that kind of pain.

"I’ve organized this GoFundMe with her permission to help cover funeral expenses and to support her as she navigates this unimaginable loss. All money will go directly to her and any donations are deeply appreciated. Any amount helps, but no matter if you’re able to give or not, we ask from the bottom of our hearts that you keep Kara and all those who knew the lives lost in your prayers. Thank you."
