Jean Gragg, 40, died over the weekend after police say she was shot in the head.
Authorities said the shooting occurred last Wednesday in an east-side South Bend neighborhood.
According to police, Gragg’s son set up a meeting that night with a man, later identified as 18-year-old John Harrison Ford, whom he had met online through Facebook Marketplace about selling a watch.
The son told police that Ford ended up pulling out a gun while he was looking at the watch and tried snatching it from him.
Gragg then got in between Ford and her son and chased the 18-year-old away from the family home.
