GoFundMe, Fundraiser Started For Children Of Mother Killed In Vienna

(Updated 5:54 p.m. Tuesday) VIENNA, VA — A GoFundMe account and fundraiser have been started for the three children of the mother killed in Vienna Sunday night.

Police found Sabrina Titus, 47, with trauma to the upper body at her Oak Street SW home Sunday night. She was transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Not long after, police found her ex-husband Ralph Titus, 53, dead inside his home nearby on Ross Drive. Police suspect the incident was a murder-suicide. The children were not harmed and will be cared for by extended family.

Sabrina had three children: Will, 14, and twins she had with Ralph: Ryan and Abby, 8. She was living with the twins. Ryan, who has a rare genetic disorder called lissencephaly, is wheelchair bound and requires 24 hour care.

Sabrina's sister Monica McMillen started the GoFundMe page to raise funds for a funeral, Ryan's medical care and other expenses for the three children.

"These three beautiful children now face a life without their beloved mother. Our loss is unimaginable," wrote McMillen on the page. "No children should lose their mother in such a way."
