Family said Yolanda N’Gaojia, 52, died following the March 22 shooting at Calvary Baptist Church Garden of Memories Cemetery in Killeen, Texas.
N’Gaojia’s ex-husband Kineh said in a Facebook post: “I have no words because I can’t believe this is real.”
He told local CBS affiliate KWTX that N’Gaojia was visiting her son Amir Tajai-Kineh N’Gaojia’s grave when she was shot.
Killeen police confirmed a second victim had non-life-threatening injuries after the shooting and was treated at the scene.
Police were called to the area shortly after 5pm on Tuesday. They released few details about the incident.
N’Gaojia’s ex-husband identified her as the victim and said the couple had three children together but were divorced.
“This is stuff you see on movies but it has become our life. I can’t believe you are gone,” his Facebook post continued.
In another post, he said: “‘My children will never be the same again. We are all f***ed right now.”

He reportedly had a criminal history that included aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the Killeen Daily Herald reported.
