LANSING, Mich. — The family of a slain 19-year-old woman is speaking out for the first time.
Police are still searching for whoever shot and killed Hanna Barron last week on Lansing’s southwest side.
As FOX 47's Cryss Walker tells us the family is struggling to figure out why.
A wild-flower who danced to her own beat.
That's how Hanna Barron's family describes the mother of two who they say left the world too soon.
“She was a great mother. The two kids were her life”, said Hana’s father Michael Barron.
The 19-year-old was one month away from her birthday, looking forward to graduating from Life Tech and enjoying her new car.
“When she got her car, she was just all bubbly”, said her step-father James Sharp.
“She was so proud of it and then to see it on the news like that is enough to just tear us a part.”
For now her family is holding on to one another, wiping tears in her memory and trying to find a way to heal from their tragic loss.
“Everyone still has so many questions that we haven't gotten answered yet. I pray that all questions will be answered”, said Chayse Scruggs, who shared a daughter with the late mother of two.
A candlelight vigil will be held for on the 3900 block of Burneway Drive in Lansing on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
The family has also setup a GoFundMe page here:
