Randall Woodfin mayor of Birmingham: Statement

Currently, her family is spending this holiday season planning plans for their daughter, according to a Facebook post by Woodfin.

According to Woodfin, the house was hit by 17 rounds. He promised to provide the police with every tool at their disposal to track out those accountable for her passing.

Audriana “Pearson was prepared to take a relaxing holiday. But yesterday night, as she slept in her bed, someone stole her life. She was the victim of a drive-by, which means that another one of our children has been stolen from us due to the irresponsible and malicious actions of others, Woodfin tweeted.

The mayor continued, “It aches my heart because there is very little to celebrate in homes where laughter has been muffled by bullets.” This morning, I chatted with Minnie’s mother. She only wanted a pink iPad and AirPods for Christmas.

The family was not prepared to comment, according to a woman who answered the door at the residence where Audriana was shot. According to a police statement, “The inability to control one’s rage and conduct calm dispute management continues to plague our community.”

Families are left in pain, resentful, and suffering as a result of the actions of others, and we are sick of seeing our communities destroyed by senseless killing. Particularly when the victim is a youngster who ought to have had many more years to learn and develop, no family should have to deal with the murder of a loved one.

“Children deserve to spend the holiday season in safety at home with their families. They shouldn’t be shot to death while at home, where they should feel protected and secure. While detectives will make every effort to collect information, our finest work is done when we collaborate to bring those who hurt our children to justice.
