Massai Laboo, 22, and Lauren Whatley, 25, both of Irvington, are facing felony murder, robbery and weapons charges in the shooting death of 22-year-old Newark resident Ana Satian.

During the course of the robbery, Satian’s cell phone was stolen and she was shot, authorities said. Around 10:30 a.m. the following morning, she died from her injuries at University Hospital, authorities said.

The mother of two young children, Satian was born in Ecuador and moved to the United States when she was seven years old. She attended Newark Tech High School before becoming married and having children.
In a letter to her killers, the Rev. Luigi Zanotto of St. Lucy’s Church – where Satian was a member -- wrote, “You shot my heart. You inflicted a deep suffering for me.”
“You were thirsty for money and for few dollars you killed her. For few dollars you destroyed a life of a young woman, for few dollars you stole the mother of two wonderful children, and you left a husband lost and looking for an answer,” the letter reads.
