King Javier GoFundMe: Fundraiser raises over $7000 for 9-year-old who was fatally shot in East Point 

A tragic incident occurred in East Point, Georgia, where a 9-year-old boy, King Javier, was brutally shot while playing outside his house. The mother of the boy was left shattered after the incident, which unfolded after a joyful day of swimming with the family. King Javier’s mother also claimed that his last words were, “I love you.”

The grieving mother said:

"He said, 'Mom, I am going outside for a little bit.' And then he was like, 'I love you.' And I said, 'I love you, too, babe.' He walked out the door, and I got a knock on my door not even five minutes later. King's been shot.”

Struggling to come to terms with the swift and unimaginable turn of events, King Javier’s mother expressed her disbelief. She said:

"I just never thought it would be me. You never plan for something like this.”

Describing her son as an angelic soul with a compassionate nature, Javier’s mother highlighted his love for aiding the homeless. While there have been no arrests as of now, the family and the family’s well-wishers have set up a GoFundMe for the deceased to cover the funeral expenses.

In 4 days, the fundraiser has managed to collect over $7,000, as more than 140 people donated to the cause.
