Slain mum 'selfless and cared so much'

When he was located an alibi he provided was proven to be false, police said.

Ms Paz was a single mum to four children, NBC News 4 Nashville reported.

Her daughter Kendall Smith, 18, told the station her mum was “selfless and cared so much about everybody”.

“My brothers don’t deserve this, my sister don’t deserve this, I don’t deserve this, she didn’t deserve that,” she told WKRN.

Ms Paz’s friend Angela Heath told the station she feels like she’s in a horror movie after coming to terms with what happened to the mother of four.

“It doesn’t feel like real life right now,” she said.
