The victim’s mother said she is heartbroken and disappointed with the school system. “It just looked like animals,” the victim’s mother said. “My daughter was standing there with two admins. I don’t understand how those children were able to come in front of her and confront her and then come from the back. It was almost like it was pre-meditated.”
Fernandes spoke with Atlanta Public Schools, who said the fight was the result of an ongoing conflict with that group of students and that they have all been disciplined according to school code.
Even though some parents said the fighting at the school is out of control, a district spokesperson said the environment at Therrell has been largely peaceful.
“I think that they need to pay more attention and also rectify the situation before it gets to that point,” the victim’s mother said.
She said that she ended up taking her daughter out of the school because some of the girls showed up at the victim’s house. APS said they have the resources available for conflict resolution and they encourage parents to use them.
Atlanta has been making major headlines lately and not only in the public school system, but the city also is being talked about after an Atlanta man was shot and killed after mistakenly getting into the wrong car at a gas station, has been updated as the suspect has now been released from jail.
It is reported that 26-year-old Travon Dunnaville was fatally shot by another man named Dericole Daniels after he accidentally entered Daniels’ car at a Shell Gas Station on Old National Highway in Atlanta.
Since the incident, Daniels — who was charged with misdemeanor voluntary manslaughter — has recently been released from jail after paying a $150,000 bond. It is reported that this occurred on Monday (April 17).
Speaking on Daniels’ recent release from jail, Dunnaville’s mother, who has chosen to remain nameless, said, “I don’t think it’s fair.” She also said since the shooting, months ago, things are still difficult for her to carry on. She said, “I have not been able to sleep. I have not.”
Recalling the day on which she lost her son, Dunnaville’s mother said his pregnant fiancé was waiting for him in their car, as he was inside of the gas station store. While he was walking out, back to his car, Dunnaville had his head down as he was texting on his phone.
