A mother, a fighter, and a survivor.
Crystal Clay is recovering in the hospital after deputies say her ex-boyfriend stalked, kidnapped, and shot her in the face last week.
“I’ll say the last week and a half has been for lack of a better statement a nightmare for me and my family,” said Quenclyn Ellison, Clay’s sister.
Authorities say on the morning of Sept. 8, Renaldo Tate took Crystal from her home, tied her up in her car, and drove to Carroll County, Virginia.
The Carroll County Sheriff’s Department says the two got into a fight outside the parked car and that’s when Tate shot Crystal in the face and then turned the gun on himself.
