BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Buffalo woman was arraigned Tuesday morning on one count of murder in connection to a fatal shooting on Berkshire Avenue.

29-year-old Jasmine Craig allegedly shot and killed 30-year-old Lameshea Sanders early Monday morning in the area of 171 Berkshire Avenue in Buffalo.

Craig will return to Buffalo City Court on Friday, Aug. 26 at 2 p.m. for a felony hearing. She was remanded without bail.

If convicted of the murder charge, Craig will face a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison.

The family of Lameshea Sanders has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover funeral expenses and future expenses towards raising Sanders' two daughters.

A candlelight vigil in honor of Sanders has also been organized to take place prior to Sanders' funeral service this weekend.
