Services Held For NoLibs Slaying Victim

More than 100 people attended services Tuesday for one of two victims of a weekend shooting in a Northern Liberties condo building.

Mourners were leaving just after noon to bury 34-year-old Rian Thal, whose life ended abruptly and violently four days ago.

Police say the double killing was well planned, and they released surveillance video footage Monday of the alleged killers inside the building, which is part of the Piazza at Schmidt's complex.

Authorities are asking for the public's help to identifying those four men.

Tuesday morning's quiet ceremony was a sharp contrast to the life Thal really led. As a well-known party planner, she mixed with celebrities, rappers and sports figures, Fox 29's Julie Kim reported.

"I just want to say to Rian and her family we love them very much, and I'm very sorry, and I'm going to miss her," said Jajuan Falana, Thal's former employer at Bluezette.

Friends described her as the life of the party but made it very clear that she wasn't just some party girl.

"She was not a party girl. She gave parties, OK? And when you give parties you've got to be a part of the party, just like you're a part of what you do here," Falana told media outside the services.

Police said Thal also mixed with a darker element that led to her killing and that of a friend, Timothy Gilmore, in the hallway of her building.

The surveillance video from the attack shows the four men who waited for their victims and then shot and killed them.

Police said they found four kilos of cocaine and more than a $100,000 in cash in Thal's unit.

"Rian was good people and, like I said before, this was one little mistake. We all make mistakes, and we're not even sure that was a mistake until we get all of the facts in," Falana said outside Tuesday's services.

Thal's family, when reached for comment, asked for privacy and said that Tuesday is her day.

Homicide detectives also said Tuesday morning that there have been no arrests in the case, Kim reported.
