BERTHOUD, Colo. (KDVR) A small community in Colorado is mourning the loss of a well-known woman who was shot and killed in a random act of violence.

Jennifer James, 49, had beaten cancer four times, only to be shot in her own Berthoud home by bullets that investigators say were fired from a stranger’s car.

Two bullets went through a window and a wall and killed Jennifer James.

“It just makes me mad that such a senseless act of violence occurred and you never think that’s going to happen to you,” James’ oldest daughter, Ashley James, said in an interview with FOX31.

Jennifer James was shot and killed while inside her home on April 28, 2025, and her loss has left a hole in the Berthoud community.

By all accounts, James was well loved by so many in Berthoud.

She was passionate about helping kids who were battling cancer, too.

She loved helping find animals a home and was a huge Denver Nuggets fan.

The bullets that investigators say came from a stranger’s gun left a hole in the heart of this community.

“She was the most selfless mom that anyone could ask for. She kind of devoted her whole life to us kids, so I’ll be forever grateful for everything that she did for us,” James said.

Jennifer James was shot and killed while inside her home on April 28, 2025, and her loss has left a hole in the Berthoud community.

The shooting happened on April 28 around 11:20 p.m., according to an affidavit for the suspect’s warrantless arrest obtained by FOX31.

Two of James’ children were home at the time of the shooting.

According to the affidavit, Larimer County Sheriff’s Department investigators used surveillance video and license plate reader data to track down the suspect.

The sheriff’s office arrested 20-year-old Ebenezer Worku, of Denver, and charged him with first-degree murder extreme indifference after he was taken into custody for questioning and admitted to firing the gun.

Worku claimed that he accidentally fired the gun twice, not knowing how it worked. He was booked into the Larimer County Jail and was issued a $1.25 million cash-only bond.

James’ funeral is set to take place later this month.

A fundraiser through GoFundMe has been set up to help the family cover expenses. Those who wish to contribute can donate online.

More details on the investigation from the affidavit can be found in a separate article here.
