Young victim to be honored at school
Zoey Price, a 7-year-old girl killed by gun violence, will be remembered Tuesday by the school she attended. The school is creating a reading spot in memory of her.
ATLANTA - A local charter school will gather Tuesday afternoon to remember a 7-year-old student whose life was cut short by gun violence late last month.
What we know:
SLAM Atlanta charter school will host a memorial ceremony at 1:30 p.m. for Zoey Price, a student remembered by teachers and peers as a "funny child" and a dedicated cheerleader. Zoe had recently been named the school’s "Student of the Month" and was a regular participant in basketball at a local recreation center.
The ceremony will feature the unveiling of a "happy corner," a dedicated reading space designed to reflect Zoey’s joyful spirit. Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. is scheduled to serve as the guest speaker.
The tribute comes as the community continues to reel from the circumstances of her death. According to Atlanta police, Zoey was inside her home on Flowers Tiger Flowers Drive when two older teenagers opened fire on the residence.
