Angelina Stone, the 24-year-old pregnant mother killed in Friday’s mass shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania, was shot by her own father, according to her family, and the death toll has now risen to 10 with the loss of her unborn son, Kyrie.

Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook confirmed to Erie News Now on Saturday afternoon that the official count now includes the baby. Stone was eight months pregnant and due to give birth on October 14, a date she had shared on social media. Her son Isiah, 5, and her daughter Amari’anna, who was weeks away from turning 2, were also killed.

Erie police have not publicly identified the shooter, and have only described him as a 45-year-old man who was related to seven of the eight people he killed. Stone’s family has filled in the rest. Juicesiyah Alexander Ezekiel, Amari’anna’s father, told Erie News Now that the gunman was Stone’s father, which would make him the grandfather of both children.

“It was my baby, bro, and he just took her,” Ezekiel said of his daughter.

A GoFundMe organized by Aaliyah Williams, Amari’anna’s aunt, says the same thing. Angelina’s father killed Angelina and her children in a murder suicide, and now our family is facing the painful task of laying them to rest,” Williams wrote. The money raised will go to Amari’anna’s father to cover funeral arrangements for Angelina, Isiah, Amari’anna and Kyrie.

The shooting happened around 4:53 p.m. Friday at a home on the 700 block of Perry Street on Erie’s east side, after a ShotSpotter alert picked up two gunshots. Police believe the gunman opened fire inside the house first, then walked outside and killed two women, ages 51 and 37, who were found in front of the home. Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said doorbell cameras captured the two women, described as a sister-in-law and a family friend, pounding on the door before the shots.

Inside, officers found Isiah and Amari’anna on the first floor. On a second floor stairwell, they found Stone along with a 44-year-old woman, a 19-year-old man and a 21-year-old man.

This has been weighing on me for the past couple of years, and this morning I saw something that compelled me to share some thoughts.

Today I woke up to watch disc golf, and I immediately noticed that there was some work being done on the historic slave quarters at Ivy Hill.

A little over two years ago, I was playing the 2024 Disc Golf World Championships and I noticed that on one of the courses holes 5 and 6 featured an unmarked slave quarters. The dwelling was recorded through census as a slave quarters as early as 1850. After meeting with historians, the plan was to adjust those holes and to document and preserve the building and its valuable history. Several contact attempts were made, but all course contacts (including one dg course designer) would not respond. To this day, holes 5 and 6 are still placed alongside the quarters at some of the biggest events disc golf has to offer.

The reason this bothers me so much is because our sport had an opportunity to take a moment, have some conversations, and treat this sensitive situation and the dwelling itself with the respect it deserves.

I love disc golf. I love the sense of community that it gives me, and I would love to see people all around the world finding the same joy that it brings me. I want to see a competitive scene where careers can not only sprout, but flourish. I truly believe that these hopes are not mine alone, and I know in my heart that they are more than possible. I also believe that with the support of community this sport can absolutely blossom.

This is all to say, as a community we need to be able to listen to issues that arise, and have those conversations in order to implement changes at the root. Changes that we have the power to make if we come together as players, fans and sponsors.

Disc golf is global and as a sport is reaching the “big screen”. What I’m asking is can we come together as a whole in order to make the sport better for future generations?

You will only grow to the level of your constraints, not your potential.
