Posted the twin sister of Wallace, D Danyell Love: ‘Thank you for every call, every text, every Facebook post, every message in my inbox. I’ve seen tham all, and I appreciate them more than words can say.
Right now, I’m just lost. I haven’t even fully accepted my mom’s death and now, I’m here trying to process life without my birthday twin Aquilla Wallace and my two beautiful nieces.
It’s pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone and truthfully, I don’t know how I’m supposed to keep living this life with so many pieces of my heart gone.’
Locals pointed to the spat of gun violence in Drew.
‘Well, it’s really sad that this is going on, but this has been going on for quite some time. It’s a lot of things going on that shouldn’t be going on,’ local man, Danny Clark told Delta News.
Reported the outlet, ‘No one seems to know if this shooting was intentional or accidental or if Wallace and her children were targets or innocent victims.’
‘If somebody’s sitting in their house watching tv, and they got people out there shooting guns, eventually somebody’s going to get hit.’ Clark said.
Mayor Townsend- Blackmon is asking the community and the surrounding areas to pray for the families involved as they grieve.
