A 6-year-old girl Serenity Stephens is in critical condition after authorities say she was one of six people shot, two of them, fatally during a game of softball at a Georgia community park, GoFundMe set by her mother.
Her mother, Selena Goodwin, said her daughter was shot in multiple places, though she did not reveal the full nature of her daughter’s injuries.
Goodwin said she is out of work while her daughter is hospitalized and set the GoFundMe up to help for Serenity’s medical expenses.
“I appreciate all the prayers and concerns and ask that you guys keep me, my daughter and my family in your prayers as we have a long road to recovery.” Goodwin wrote.
According to reports, authorities have now released imagery of a person of interest wanted for questioning in connection with the shooting.
The two people who were killed during Sunday’s shooting have been identified as Rashad Roger, 31, and April Sparks, 33.
Four other people sustained serious injuries. Police believe an argument led to the shooting.
One of the victims of the shooting, which unfolded at Rosa L. Burney Park in Atlanta, is Serenity Stephens, a 6-year-old girl who remains in critical condition.
A GoFundMe campaign was organized for Serenity Stephens by her mother, Selena Goodwin. Goodwin asked that all donors keep her family in their prayers.
During “the most unimaginable tragedy ever,” Serenity was “shot nine times in multiple places,” the description reads.
The GoFundMe is still accepting donations to help pay for the little girl’s mounting medical bills.
“As we’ve said countless times, we’re just asking citizens to find a way to resolve conflict without weapons,” Deputy Chief Charles Hampton Jr. told reporters during a news briefing.
Investigators have released a photo of a person of interest in the shooting.
The image shows the man running with what looks like a gun in his right hand.
No arrests had been made as of Friday afternoon.
