It was 10:30, Friday night, (Mother) Kimi and Kristyana were just returning home from watching a family member in a high school football game. John had stayed home with the baby. What happened next, happened fast. "We walked up to the porch and we were approached by men," says Kimi.

"I heard Kimi scream," says John. "When i opened up the door I seen them standing behind Kimi and Kristyana they just starting shooting as soon as I opened the door. I just tried to get to Kristyana but they just kept shooting. I knew I was getting hit but I had no idea where I was just trying to get to her."

John laid his daughter on the floor inside the house and it was then he realized, she had been shot in the head. "Then I ran out front, the front door. Just started yelling. They shot my baby. Somebody please help us. They shot my baby," says John. ...

John had been shot three times. He was in pain but that pain wouldn't compare to losing his daughter and the terrifying scene he can't get out of his mind.

Kristyana will be best remembered for being the perfect child of any parent’s dream; with her thoughtfulness, kind heart and compassion for others far exceeding that of a normal 7-year-old. A second-grader at Elkhart’s Mary Daly Elementary School, she was full of energy and enthusiasm in everything from academics to athletics. She was an advanced reader for her age and enjoyed being a member of several area soccer, basketball and gymnastics leagues. She also loved to dance, sing and swim, and had just recently discovered the thrill of “tubing” on some of the area lakes with members of her family. Her best times, however, were spent with her parents and her baby brother, John Jr., whom she doted on. “Family time” was spent spending Christmases at Chicago’s Navy Pier, dining at Sunny Italy or Texas Roadhouse with mom and dad, spending time at the Kalahari and Grey Wolf Lodge indoor water parks in Sandusky, Ohio, and going to Cedar Point to ride the roller coasters there as many times as she could.
