Beyond the courtroom, Abghari’s family and friends say the loss has been immeasurable.

Her sister, Niloofar Abghari, said the sentencing offered "little solace," describing Haleh as the most important person in her life.

"Every night when I sleep, I think about what happened to her," she told the Denver Gazette. "There’s no joy anymore. It’s just survival."

In a fundraiser created after her death, loved ones described Abghari as a devoted daughter and sister who spoke with her parents every night and had visited them just weeks before she was killed.

They said she maintained close friendships across the country and around the world and was known for putting others before herself.

"This senseless act leaves a gaping hole in our hearts," the fundraiser reads, adding that she "took on the burdens of others in her ongoing quest to make the world a better place."

Fox News Digital reached out to Wilson's lawyers for comment.
