- Raines was the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit that distributes food and other resources to homeless populations in Skid Row
According to a LVMPD police report obtained by PEOPLE on Friday, Jan. 30, officers were dispatched to Raines’ home around 4:43 p.m. on Tuesday after Williams, 33, requested authorities check on her mom. Raines’ daughter told police that her mother had not answered her phone or the door all day, though she could hear the phone ringing inside her home, per the report.
“Officers made the decision to force entry in order for the welfare check and found Shirley on the floor next to her bed upstairs,” the LVMPD said, adding that Raines was “unresponsive.” Authorities pronounced her dead and contacted the coroner’s office.
