New
Yorkers are still reeling from the loss of a mother who was shot in the head
and killed while out with her baby on the Upper East Side Wednesday night.
A
candlelight vigil was held to commemorate 20-year-old Aszia Johnson’s life. Her
mother said that the city failed her daughter, and that her
death was the result of domestic violence.
Her
family tells News 12 that Aszia leaves behind two young babies, and
that she aspired to be a pediatric nurse.
City
officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, attended the vigil, consoling the
victim’s mother as she spoke to the crowd.
Police say no arrests
have been made at this time, and the investigation is ongoing.
