Dallas Shooting Victim Identified As Stony Brook University Alum

STONY BROOK, NY — A 32-year-old woman originally from Queens was murdered on Saturday by a gunman who entered her Texas home. Amber Tsai is being mourned by family, friends and neighbors after the shooting that killed her and a male friend and injured an elderly woman and several police officers.

According to Haltom City police, on Saturday 28-year-old Edward Freyman ambushed Tsai and Collin Davis, 33, at her home in the suburbs of Dallas, killing both before shooting at responding police officers.

Three of the officers were injured, along with a female neighbor who called 911, according to local news sources. The gunman was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Tsai's sister Abigail Tsai started a GoFundMe campaign for the murdered woman, who Newsday identified as a graduate of Stony Brook University. She received a Master of Arts degree from the Long Island university and worked as an admissions advisor at a cybersecurity trade school.

Tsai's neighbor in Haltom City remembered building a friendship with Tsai.

"She had a full life ahead of her and it hurts," she told the Dallas NBC affiliate. She also said Tsai's mother wants to meet the people who became close to her daughter in Texas.

Abigail Tsai wrote about her sister:

"Words cannot describe the pain and loss we feel. She will always be remembered for her humble heart and for making friends everywhere she went. All donations will go towards her funeral expenses and to honor Amber as we say our last goodbyes."
