This is quite concerning. Is there CCTV footage to confirm the friend's story about Kanii’ya getting in the car and driving off? What was the dispute about? Does she have any money or a job? Where could she be staying at? Hopefully she's safe.

It's unclear exactly what happened, but searching Gwinnett County court records, her estate was probated in May 2024, with her listed as "decedent." You do need a free account to search the records online, so I'm unable to post a direct link, but I found it searching her name here.
