it's sad and unfortunate thet this happen to this child who had yet to begin her life. we need to grasp hold to our children and educate them to the dangers out here in our society and express our love to them more. our communities are being taken over by senseless violence and our youths are the ones that are often fallen prey to it. to the coward(s0 who commited this act of violence you will be apprehended in time you can't hide for long and your punishment from the law is not as far worse of the punishment the Lord has in store for you. to the family my prayers go out to you that you all have strength within and grasp hold to your lives.

I hope and pray that this SICK person that did this terrible crime is captured he/she are too vicious to be free in the streets very cold hearted and ruthless.
