MONROE, Mich. (WXYZ) — A heartbroken family is opening up after the death of a 14-year-old girl who came into contact with a downed power line.
“She was just an amazing person and best cousin I could ask for. My son adored her. It’s just really hit me hard when I found out she’s no longer here,” the victim’s cousin Tiffany Keck said.
Speaking with a heavy heart, she and the victim’s mother Martha Jean Hunter are reflecting on the life of 14-year-old Elizabeth Jacobsen .
“After the storm we had, my girlfriend’s daughter and Elizabeth wanted to go out back and walk circles, talk about boys and music, stuff teenage girls do.” Hunter said.
She added, “They smelled something sweet like a campfire. My daughter thought that it was a twig on the ground — my daughter loves sticks. I've got two huge sticks that belong to her. She thought it was a twig and went to pick it up, and 13,800 volts went through her body.”
She describes the loss as devastating.
Monroe police say it happened around 7:40 p.m. on Peters Street near Conant Avenue. The location is near the home, and the family is now planning to move to get away from the horrors of what happened.
The incident happened just hours before an 8-year-old boy was hospitalized in critical condition after touching a live power line in Warren.
“(Elizabeth was a) Very happy-go-lucky girl. Very outdoorsy. Helped everybody and loved everybody. She loved scary movies. She would watch a scary movie and go to bed, then come running to and say, ‘Mom I can’t do it.’ She loved making people smile, helping. It was too soon for her to go,” Hunter said.
Monroe Public Schools is providing students and staff with counselors to talk with. Parents are also being encouraged to talk with their kids.
DTE has pledged to cover funeral expenses. To help the family with moving costs, you can visit their GoFundMe page .

MONROE, Mich. (WTVG) - A Monroe teen has died from injuries three days after police say she jumped from a moving car while her mother was driving.
Family members of Angelina Jones, 14, describe her a typical teenager who loved making TikTok videos, music and dancing.
In a statement to 13abc, Jones’ father, Mack Jones, and step-mother, Jayna Jones, said they received a phone call on Easter that Angelina was involved in a tragic accident.
“On Easter Sunday we received the most devastating phone call. That our little girl had been in a tragic accident and was rushed to the hospital. Due to the injuries she sustained her life was cut short three days later on Wednesday, April 20, at the young age of 14.”
According to Southgate police, the incident happened around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 17, 2022 on Fort Street near Pennsylvania Road in Southgate, Michigan. Detectives say the 14-year-old was riding passenger, along with her 9-year-old sister, while their mother, 33, was driving.
Angelina and her mother were allegedly arguing when the teen jumped out of the moving vehicle and suffered serious injuries, a press release stated.
During the investigation, the teen’s mother, who has not yet been identified, was arrested for suspicion of operating under the influence and was released pending results from a toxicology test.
Southgate Police say results of toxicology tests may take several weeks. Detectives are working with the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office regarding possible charges.
Angelina’s father and step-mother released the following statement, reading in part:
“Our family does not believe the speculations that Angelina jumped from the vehicle.”
“We are looking for answers and asking that if anyone knows something or saw something to please reach out to the Southgate Police Department.”
“Angelina lived each day by loving those around her through her kind and generous heart.”
“May we all carry on her love, her joy, and her memories. May she never be forgotten.”
The Jones family added that Angelina loved spending time with her siblings and had “the most beautiful smile and brought tremendous joy to everyone around her.”
Angelina was also in the 8th grade at Monroe Middle School. Monroe Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Julie Everly, said Angelina previously lived in Wayne County and recently returned to Monroe in the middle on the school year.
“During her short time at Monroe Middle School, she touched students and staff with her gentle spirit, kind heart, and bright smile,” Everly said. “Extra members of our district social-emotional team will be present at Monroe Middle School to address student questions and needs for support.”
A GoFundMe account was also created to help the Jones family. The account was created by Angelina’s cousin, Chelsea Jones, which as of Monday has raised more than $16,000. To donate, click here.
