Barahona was an Afghanistan war vet who served with the U.S. Coast Guard. She was also studying at John Jay College.
“It’s shocking to me,” a former Coast Guard colleague, who asked not to be named, said of her death. “She was a very conscientious, quiet person, highly educated. She was a nice lady, private, and did her job.”
