AUSTIN, Tex. - A memorial was held Thursday in North Texas for the slain girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher. Family and friends gathered Thursday at a church in Blue Ridge to remember Kasandra Perkins, 22, just five days after Belcher killed her then shot himself in the head. Life Celebration Funeral Home says a separate service will be held Saturday in Austin, followed by burial in nearby Pflugerville.
Belcher shot Perkins at their Kansas City home Saturday morning. He then drove with a handgun to Arrowhead Stadium, where he thanked team officials before taking his own life.
Perkins is survived by the couple's 3-month-old daughter, Zoey. According to the Turrentine Jackson Morrow funeral home, she is also survived by two siblings, her parents, grandparents and a great-grandmother.
