Little Jamayla Marlowe loved to dress up, often carrying a purse, wearing pink lip gloss and sporting colorful beads in her long, black hair.
She preferred juice with her favorite meal: her great granny s mac and cheese with a side of turnip greens.
She liked a bottle of milk at night before bed. Her mother said her daughter would tell her she didn t care how old she was. My babies were in the car putting their jackets on, grabbing their juice, the girl s 25-year-old mother, Anyetta Marlowe, said. We never got to get out the car. As we were parking, shots went off and my baby was killed in the backseat.
