HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — Former Holland resident Wendi Miller, CEO of Wings for Justice, was found shot dead Sunday night in a Newport Beach, CA, condominium, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
In a public Facebook post, her son, Luke Carpenter, wrote, “First of all I want to say thank you for all the love and support from everyone. It’s way more than I could ever hope for. For those who don’t know my mother was found. She had been shot and it was told to us that she did not suffer. The police are still investigating all the details. Thank you for all the prayers and please don’t stop because I feel our family needs them even more now. I have no doubt in my mind that she was loved on earth and I’m happy that she gets to be loved even better in heaven. I love you mom.”
According to the Los Angeles Times’ report, she was found dead, as well as a 38-year-old former pro hockey player. Miller, 48, had been living in Costa Mesa, near her mom.
Miller founded Wings for Justice, a social-justice organization with a mission of protecting children in the family court system by creating awareness, providing education, and advocating to bring positive change.
