After the fight, the victim stated she left the residence; however, on 2/28/2023, her son received a phone call saying Winona had packed up all her property. The victim stated that on 2/28/23, she returned to collect her property with the intent to leave, but after the victim arrived and collected her property, Winona would not let her leave.
