Her nickname was "Rainbow Brite" after the 1980s cartoon character. And now friends and family are mourning 29-year-old Chelsea Beller, the restaurant worker gunned down in a robbery early Sunday morning.
“She lived by her heart, and loved everyone whole-heartedly,” said Lauda Rodriguez Lacayo, a longtime friend.
Beller's friends are also asking questions about her safety and that of others working the closing shift at Barcelona Wine Bar in Atlanta's up-and-coming Westside neighborhood.
In the search for her killers, Atlanta police released chilling video of three, masked attackers as they stormed the restaurant and terrorized staff.
