home along Greenbrook Trail in Dallas, where a young woman was killed, has been found to have been operating without a state license as a group care home since 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">The home is now at the center of a homicide investigation following the death of Alliyah Fortner, a nonverbal woman with autism, last weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">Alona Nedab, whose daughter received care at the home, expressed her concerns, saying, \u201cThis could have been my child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">Nedab reported past incidents of abuse at the home, including seeing a man left in a diaper in the garage, and expressed concerns about bruises on her daughter two years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">She stated that she had complained to police and local and state officials about the facility, urging them to prevent it from continuing to serve adults with challenges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">Nedab emphasized the preventable nature of Fortner\u2019s death, saying, \u201cHer death was very avoidable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">Police have confirmed that the investigation into Fortner\u2019s death is ongoing but have not provided further details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">The investigation into the unlicensed home and the circumstances surrounding Fortner\u2019s death continues, as authorities seek answers in this tragic case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV
