A little over $300 had been raised to cover the teen’s funeral costs as of Monday afternoon.
On Facebook Radley posted several times detailing her heartbreak following the shooting, writing in all caps, “hug your babies tight because I lost mine, words can’t describe this pain.”
“I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone my heart is in a million pieces,” “dearria I need you I can’t do this. Bug I love you so so much.” Leads the post.
She later shared a video of herself crying, and saying through tears that she “wouldn’t wish this on anybody,” and “my baby is gone.”
“Thirteen years. Thirteen years. We’ve been through everything together and my baby is gone,” she emotionally exclaims in the clip.
“I can’t do it. I can’t do it, man. My baby, my baby.”
