She was staying at an Airbnb when police said a party spiraled into chaos.

Rescue crews rushed Zeigler to a nearby hospital, where should would be pronounced dead.

Now, nearly seven weeks later, her family says they are ready to see their daughter’s killer brought to justice.

ā€œI’m happy that they got him, but this still just don’t bring my child back,ā€ said Alicia Ford-Barron, Zeigler’s mother. ā€œYou took a beautiful soul from me. You took my daughter, you took my first love. That was my first love. That was my twin.ā€

Local 10 News has reached out to authorities for more information on how the arrest was made and when the suspect will be expected to make their first court appearance.
