On the morning of December 30, 2018, a bright 7-year-old girl named Jazmine Barnes lost her life to eight bullets fired in a moment of reckless rage.

She wasn’t the target.

She wasn’t involved.
She was simply a child sitting beside her mother.

A case of mistaken identity.
An act of senseless revenge.
One decision that shattered an entire universe.

Jazmine’s life reminds us that violence never ends with one act—it ripples outward, stealing futures, breaking families, and leaving wounds that never fully heal.

Let her story be a call to choose restraint over rage, humanity over hatred, and compassion over impulse.
Because one choice can destroy a world—or protect it.
