Certain type of suicide?

Okay, first off I'm writing a story so it's not about me. I was wondering if there was a certain term used for the type of suicidle that I'm using for my main character. Without too much detail I'll explain:

She suffers from PTSD and a small case of nightmare disorder after watching her sister die.( She and her sister were in a sort of gang) after her sister died she joined a larger faction that was known for their more dangerous attacks that usually ended up with members dying. She joins with the intention of 'dying a fighters death' or dying the way her sister did so she doesn't feel like her life was wasted. Is there a certain term that can be used to describe this intention or would it just be classified as suicidal? I've been trying to search for it but haven't found anything yet.

    What your implying is to "Holding court on the street" great line from "The Town".
