She was supposed to be dead.
But she somehow survived a bullet to the head.
Monday, this victim -- who spoke with CBS4 News if her identity was concealed -- is dealing with not only deep physical scars, but deep emotional scars as well.
That's because the surviving victim's daughter, Nekitta Hamilton, 15, was one of the three people murdered inside the Miramar home in August. Faith Bisasor, 49, and her son, Davion Bishop, 15, were also killed.
The surviving victim said on the day of the shooting she went shopping with her daughter at a South Florida mall for her upcoming Sweet 16 birthday party. After that, mother and daughter went to Bisasor's Miramar home with some groceries. They planned to hang out.
Then the unthinkable happened at the Bisasor home on Encino Street.
"A guy just came up, and I got the shot," she told CBS4's Carey Codd. "That was it. I don't remember anything else. It happened so quick."
The victim said she remembers little about what led to the shooting and she could not divulge many details, as Miramar Police detectives are working to solve the homicides. The victim said she had never seen the shooter before.
The victim said after several hours of lying on the floor of the home, she gathered the strength to get help.
"I just remember getting up," she said. "I didn't even know it was another day. I couldn't hear nothing. I couldn't see nothing. I was out of it."
She grabbed a cell phone and called the last number that showed up on her screen. A friend called 911 and police arrived at the home within minutes. The victim was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head. She did not yet know about her daughter's condition.
"Where's Nikki?" she asked. "It took a while to know that Nikki was gone."
The victim spent weeks in the hospital recovering. She suffered hearing loss in her left ear and vision loss in her left eye. She is unable to properly open and close her jaw, making eating difficult. She will need reconstructive surgery on her jaw. She said the pain "comes and goes."
But if the physical pain comes and goes, the emotional pain in constant.
"I try to be strong, but I can't go through a day thinking about Nekitta, my friend Faith and Davion," she said. "I'm asking the community to help us. Help us find him."
This victim described her daughter as "smart and loving," saying that her only child was "everything to me."
During the CBS4 interview, the victim's husband, Eustace Hamilton, sat by her side, gently caressing her hand. Hamilton said he is trying to be strong for his wife.
"I have to be strong," he said. "I have to put out that force of energy because we have to be there for each other, because our daughter passed tragically."
The victim is speaking out in hopes of someone coming forward with information that leads to an arrest. Police have a sketch of the suspect but need more details to catch the killer.
"Somebody knows something," said Miramar Detective Steve Toyota. "Nobody does something like this and it doesn't get around."
Nekitta's father said his family needs justice.
"I can't wake up and feel normal anymore," Hamilton said. "I think about my little baby. She just wanted to live and enjoy life and her life was just taken away from her just like that."
The victim faces a lifetime of recovery from her injuries and a lifetime of dealing with the death of her child. She hopes her story of survival and loss will convince someone to speak up or convince the killer to admit what he did.
"Give up yourself please," the victim said. "My daughter, Davion and Faith, she was a good person and sweet. Davion was nice and intelligent. Turn yourself in."
Miramar Police have searched for clues and even enlisted the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to solve the case. In fact, the FBI provided an additional $20,000 to the reward for an arrest in the case. The total reward is now up to $25,000.
If you have any information on this case call Broward County Crimestoppers at 954-493-TIPS. You can remain anonymous, and if the information leads to an arrest, you could be eligible for the $25,000 reward.
