Allie Parriman’s neighbor’s statement
The gunfire startled Allie Parriman, who lives across the street from the scene of the incident, late Monday night, but her baby daughter slept through it.
“Nothing like this ever really happens here,” she said.
Parriman claimed that deputies had stopped by to get video from the Ring camera that was positioned close to her front entrance. Parriman claimed that she then attempted to fall asleep again.
She claims to have lived there for around two years and believes Da’myiah’s family only recently moved there. She was unaware of them but noticed children having fun there.

When I heard this story my heart sank once again. This little girl in her own house can’t be protected from gun violence. I hope they can catch the thug who did this so that he/she can never see the light of day again. When is this BS going to stop? Thank you Karin for your difficult report. Prayers for the family.
