Neighbor of Tuesday shooting victim speaks out

WARREN COUNTY, Ky. – Elizabeth Alkaabi was at home cooking dinner for her family on Tuesday night when she saw a commotion outside. Her street was lined with Warren County Sheriff’s Office cars with her neighbor’s house taped off.

Her neighbor, Mary Thomas, was dead and Mary’s husband, Terry, was taken into custody. With an investigation now ongoing, few details are available, but it has left Alkaabi unsettled.

Alkaabi had spoken with Mary Thomas many times and never expected anything like this to be possible. The couple seemed happy to be living in the neighborhood.

“In some of my conversations with Miss Mary, she always would brag about her kids that, even though they didn’t live close, that she was always, you know, so proud of them and, and cherished like her visits with them because they were few and far between. But she just loved her kids and getting together with them,” Alkaabi said.
