Over one hundred residents of Goldsboro gathered on Christmas Eve to remember a 13-year-old who was shot and killed on Sunday.
Police said officers were called to Alpha Court around 4:40 p.m. for reports of a shooting. When officers arrived, police said they found Jaleeyah Tune had been shot. She was pronounced dead on the scene.
For some family members, they say her absence feels like a void.
“They took a beautiful life. For no reason. For no reason,” said Cresha Hobbs, Tune’s Grandmother.
Tune’s death has prompted a wave of support from all corners of the community, with teachers, classmates and even local law enforcement joining the vigil to pay their respects and leave tokens of remembrance.
Family members are now calling for action and say they do not want what happened to Tune to happen to another family in Goldsboro.
“We’re not gonna stop until we have a law about children violence [and] gun violence in Goldsboro. It’s gonna be Jaleeyah’s law and I’m not gonna stop until that happens,” Hobbs said.
According to her mother, Tune was born premature and came home from the hospital on Christmas Eve 13 years ago. Now this holiday has a different meaning for them.
While many families are celebrating Christmas, Tune’s family is planning a funeral. They have started a GoFundMe to help with expenses.
