After being shot in the head on Feb. 8, allegedly at the hands of her brother, a 25-year-old woman has died in hospice care.

Jazzy Kuykendall died Wednesday, an investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office said Friday.

Jazzy and Marquavious Kuykendall “were in an argument that turned into a physical struggle over a gun when (Jazzy) was shot,” College Park Deputy Chief Ferman Williford told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution at the time of the shooting.

The shooting occurred at a house on Godby Road, police said.

Immediately after the shooting, Marquavious Kuykendall, 22, was arrested on multiple charges, including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, aggravated battery and possession of marijuana less than one ounce, according to Fulton County Jail records.
