Description
On Saturday afternoon, people will gather at Ballast Point Park in Tampa to mark the one-year anniversary of the shooting death of Nilexia Alexander.
The 14-year-old was shot and killed on May 6, 2022. Months later, police arrested 44-year-old Ronny Walker in connection to her death.
According to her foster turned adoptive mother, Ashley Alexander, the 14-year-old struggled with childhood trauma and was a frequent runaway in the years leading up to her death.
Ashley said Ballast Point Park was a place she came to with her daughter often, where they'd sometimes talk about what she was going through and why she was running away, as well as lighter subjects.
