More than 35 shots interrupted the late night/early morning hours, hospitalizing cousin and her sister and hammering and, tragically, end 11-year-old Ja’Naiya’s life.
The tragedy, which occurred about 1:30 a.m. Sunday from the town of Anderson, struck home with Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson in more ways than one.
“It could have been my little sister,” Lawson said Wednesday through The Greenville News. “I’ve got a little sister around that era, and it might have been among my family members.”
In the aftermath of Ja’Naiya’s murder, Lawson has vowed to cover the funeral.
A three-season veteran using the Bills, Lawson grew up in South Carolina, attending D.W. Daniel High before enjoying Clemson.
Lawson achieved to speak the mother of Ja’Naiya, with Marshella Rice.
“I know that her heart was hurting,” Lawson said. “I was speechless I could not saying anything. I felt for her pain. I felt the pain. I felt like some other way I could possibly help out, I went to do that. It struck my heart”
Struck by a bullet in her shoulder, Ja’Naiya’s subclavian artery has been severed and she died in the emergency room.
The shots were fired off by an unknown assailant without any suspects having been called, and no charges are filed.
“Whoever did this needs to come forward and tell the truth,” Lawson explained. “And whoever’s hiding, it is wrong that you’re hiding. This is a girl who is gone. It is just pointless killing people. She was home, a place she was supposed to be safe.”
