Fundraiser for victim's family

Meghan Davies, a fitness coach at Training for Warriors Coral Springs of which Tabares was a member, posted a condolence message on Facebook saying Tabares was an epitome of honesty, integrity, enthusiasm, grit, and a role model for all of them.

“Every time you would see her in the gym, she would be smiling, cheering everyone on around her and the kindness in her heart shined through. I will miss seeing her do that little wave she is doing in the third picture as she passes the office to go to class,” she wrote.

Davies said that Tabares was trying to help the person who killed her. “Again, she was looking out for someone else. Someone who didn’t deserve her kindness,” she wrote. Davies’s brother set up a fundraiser to support her family.
