Marta told 10News she walked over to the woman behind the wheel, telling her, "You need help, you need help." She reports that the seat was reclined and the woman had a SoBe energy drink between her legs. Marta reportedly looked at Jessica's neck to see if she was breathing. She also reports that "over on the passenger seat," she spotted "dozens of white pills scattered around." At this point, she called police.

Another neighbor, Oscar Sandoval, told 10News Jessica's car was parked in the same location since "around midnight" the evening before, explaining, "I thought she was sleeping or waiting for someone."

Drew, 39, gave a statement to E! News regarding her half-sister's passing, saying, "Although I only met her briefly, I wish her and her loved ones as much peace as possible and I'm so incredibly sorry for their loss."

Jessica reportedly worked at an area Petco animal supply store and was well liked by her co-workers. "Jessica was always a helpful person," her friend and co-worker Dawn Scott told 10News. "If we had any problems she would help us work things out. She would always put people first... She was one awesome, helpful person and she's someone we're all going to miss."
