“Randisha was an outgoing young lady. She loved to dance, sing,” her mother, Katara Hamm, told Dateline. “She just loved to be around people, in general. She loved to smile. She loved school.”

''The 17-year-old was a junior at Westlake High School in Fulton County, Georgia. January 12, 2016 was a typical Tuesday. Randisha headed to school that morning and texted Katara from the bus''
''Katara and her three younger children had recently moved into the College Park neighborhood with Katara’s parents, after her eldest son went off to college. On January 12, 2016, Katara’s parents and one of her younger sons were in California for a funeral, while the other son was at basketball practice. That meant Randisha was home alone that afternoon.
“We had just moved there with my parents,” Katara told Dateline. “So I didn’t know any of the neighbors or anything like that.” After work, Katara said she picked her son up from basketball practice and stopped to pick up some dinner. She got an uneasy feeling on her way home.''
''Katara said she and her son got home at about 9 p.m., and as she gathered her purse and belongings from the car, her son went into the house through the unlocked door.
When Katara caught up to him, she said, “He was standing there with this crazy look on his face, like he was in a daze or something.”
Katara told Dateline she began calling for Randisha. She said her son looked at her, and looked down, and said, “Mama, she’s right there.”
Randisha was laying on the floor, in a pool of blood.
According to a 2018 interview with NBC affiliate WXIA, Fulton County Lieutenant Roger Peace said, “We learned she sustained and died from multiple gunshot wounds.”
