Potts said Dunmore paid to put herself through school earlier this year and was working as a licensed nail technician. She had dreams of owning a salon.
"Her future was bright and it was just taken away from her," she said.
Investigators were able to locate the driver and vehicle. Police have a 34-year-old in custody. Charges are still pending.
