Wilks was taken to the hospital where she later died.
Pete Modlan was her neighbor who lived a few doors down, he had great things to say about Sophia and expressed somber emotions after learning about her horrific death.
“Yeah I knew her, she had three children two girls and a boy," Modlan said. "I used to see them play all the time when they weren’t going to school. She always spoke to me and gave me respect it’s a tragedy that something like that happened to her. It’s just so sad. I guess cause by me being an elder she always treated me nice. Sad you know it hurts for her to be so young and to die like that it hurts it hurts."
