Police say Beverley Lambert, 25, was picking up her 2-year-old son, Jace, from a babysitter when the 16-year-old armed with a gun shot her twice in the back of the head.
Late Friday, a growing memorial was set up for Lambert at the Morris apartment complex where she was shot. She was described by those who knew her as a hardworking mother.Those were just some of the words Butler used to describe her niece.
Police said at the point when Lambert was picking up her son, the 16-year-old was in the area trying to solicit a ride when someone told him to leave. "He just like took a mother from their 2-year-old son," said Lambert's friend, Myriah Weatherspoon."I think we're all just like confused and just like hurt."
"I have never heard of an offender in Grundy County committing a murder at age 16 in the history of the county," said Grundy County State's Attorney Josh Helland."This just does not happen here." "I saw him from my window," she said."I live right here.""How he was looking for a ride makes me think that could have been me," she said.
