“They took my baby away from me. They killed my child and then bragged about it but I leave all the avenging to God. People contact me tagging me to repost it, I really appreciate that. I watched it, thank you very much. I am not strong, please pray for me,” her mother wrote in an Instagram post.
The suspect, who has not been named, is expected to appear in juvenile court on Monday for manslaughter, intentional assault and assault.
“I am devastated and completely outraged,” Mayor Shawyn Patterson Howard said in a statement. “We begin a day celebrating the greatness and success of our youth. And we ended it with a childish life that was robbed by senseless and inexcusable violence.”

As a community, our common solidarity must be for the safety and healthy development of our young people,” she continued. “Our sincere prayers and condolences go out to family, friends and the entire Mount Vernon community.”
