Aiden Michael Talmage
Age 10
Grand Forks, North Dakota
Football, video games, his grandmother's cooking
The only thing needed to get him outside was a promise to throw a football. He loved playing video games with his siblings and eating his grandmother’s cooking.
Struggles with mental illness led to hospitalizations for himself, his mother and his brother, and eventually, the bills stacked up. The family had recently moved to Grand Forks, North Dakota.
On May 3, 2018, 10-year-old Aiden Michael Talmage, one of his older brothers and his younger sister were shot and killed in their sleep by their mother, who killed herself afterwards. “I hadn’t met them yet, and I had only barely seen them,” a neighbor said.
