A woman was killed after a car plowed into a crowd of protesters demonstrating against white nationalists in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Heather Heyer, 32, was the lone person killed in Saturday’s violence when James Alex Fields, Jr., 20, drove his silver Dodge Challenger into the protesting group. Several dozen more were injured.
Heyer’s friends and family confirmed her death, with friend Felicia Venita Correa setting up a GoFundMe page to raise money for her family.
According to the New York Daily News and the New York Post, she was a paralegal with the Miller Law Group.
