On the evening of November 3, 2021, in the Young Terrace neighborhood of Norfolk, Virginia, Sarah Elizabeth Costine, 44, was shot and killed after rushing from her home to help a wounded young woman. Known also by her Muslim name Sa’idah, Costine was a mother of six and a cancer survivor. Palmer shot Legrande; when Costine ran out to aid her, she was struck by a bullet that entered her left elbow and traveled to her chest, killing her.

Two other women who came to help were also killed and another was injured; three of Costine’s youngest children witnessed their mother’s shooting while playing on a nearby trampoline. Palmer fled but was later taken into custody and charged in connection with the shootings.

Does anyone have information about Sarah’s life in Young Terrace or knew her family?
