Suspecting she had been using drugs, her parents asked her in March to take a drug test. Quickly, they arranged for her to receive treatment in Florida. She had been living there to receive treatment, according to her mother, Lana Kothe, a fashion show and events coordinator, and father, Konan Ellerbe, a disc jockey popularly known as “Konan” at Urban One Radio. Kothe told them she was struggling with anxiety and depression. She graduated in 2018 and decided to take some time off to figure out her next steps, and had moved in with a boyfriend. The father of a 3-year-old Florida girl recently did an unspeakable act that left them both dead. Jade Kothe, 20, was an alumna of Baltimore School for the Arts and Annapolis High School who aspired to open her own dance studio. When police were called for another apparent overdose a week later, on June 5, a firefighter gave her Narcan, and Kothe was later taken to the hospital, the police report said. Kothe always loved dancing and exhibited natural talent at an early age, her parents said. Jade Kothe, an alumna of Baltimore School for the Arts and Annapolis High School, died in June in Florida. “That image of her looking at him is etched into my mind forever.”The neighbor who described the scene as “horrific” said Terrence walked about 100 yards with the daughter before shooting her and then turning the gun on himself. A body-camera video that West Palm Beach police provided Saturday to The Baltimore Sun showed teams of officers, and apparently paramedics, working to revive her for about nine minutes. “She was all happy to see him.”“I know he said something to Cherish right before he shot her because I saw her look up at him,” the neighbor, who asked to remain unidentified, told WEAR-TV. She died June 28 in West Palm Beach.
After the department learned of the family’s concerns, he said, an assistant chief attempted to reach out to Kothe’s parents, who ultimately directed the assistant chief to their attorneys. Konan, 21, admitted he had been part of a gang known as Gipset but said he left the gang in 2005 and denied the attack was gang-related. She had begun using drugs to cope, they said. Kothe’s parents have expressed concerns that their daughter was not given adequate care by the first responders. Her parents recalled how one dance teacher was so impressed with her abilities she could not believe she hadn’t previously received formal training. Kothe attended the Baltimore School for the Arts for ballet for her first three years of high school but transferred to Annapolis High School her senior year to be closer to friends, her mother said.
