JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A tragedy in Arlington: The father of a 14-year-old girl shot and killed wants answers, more than two months after her death.
Ayva Guthrie was a freshman at Sandalwood High School and a rising star on the basketball team. She had just become a big sister three weeks before her death. Ayva was small, but her personality was large.
“She was playing basketball, so we’re pushing for an academic and athletic scholarship, which would be great for her, for her future,” Aaron Begier, her father, told News4Jax. “I wanted everything for her. I wanted her to get married, have kids, have a good job.”
