Amari Peterson has been identified as the number one baby dupe of the frank stockton natal day party mass shooting. The tragedy occurred Saturday at a banquet hall in California, leaving four people dead, including three children.
Amari Peterson was a 14-year-old Modesto resident and one of the children killed during the Nov. 29 shooting at a banquet hall on the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue in Stockton.
"My baby was innocent," Amari's mother Kim Peterson told the Stockton Record. "We were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Who would have known my baby wasn't gonna come home with me?”
A GoFundMe has been launched to support the family with funeral expenses.
The fundraiser describes Amari as "a bright, loved, and promising young soul" who loved sports, including basketball and football.
“Amari was a football player, a basketball player, a brother, son, and cousin,” the page reads. "He was making plans and looking into colleges of choice. He was NOT involved in any gang activity. The only mistake this sweet boy made was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was simply being a kid at a kids’ party."
His mother added, “He was good in everything he did. He played basketball, football. I'm just lost for words. Just pray for me, my family, his friends, everybody that came across him. My baby was loved.”
