Another woman has died after a drug deal stabbing nearly two weeks ago at a home along Montgomery Avenue in Tice.
Traci Perry had been fighting for her life at the Gulf Coast Medical Center before she died on Wednesday. Her daughter, Emily, died approximately two weeks ago after the incident.
Two men were arrested for the deadly stabbing that happened on Sept. 20. Shad Loveless, 45, and Zachary Williams, 21, were arrested for robbing and stabbing Emily and Traci.
Traci and Emily's family and friends gathered outside Gulf Coast Medical Center on Thursday. They held a flag-raising ceremony to honor Traci and Emily, donating their organs to save lives.
The flag will fly over the hospital for three days to symbolize that the gift of life has been shared.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office said it is working with the State Attorney's Office for an added charge following Traci's death.
