Izabella Coleman
Age 5
Detroit, Michigan
She saw the positive in everyone
She loved purple flowers and doing hair. She collected rocks and had hopes of helping the homeless. Facebook posts described a girl with a big heart who saw the positive in everyone.
Her mother, Dejiza, was just 17 when she was born. Her daughter was a “star from the moment [she] opened [her] eyes,” she wrote.
On Sept. 13, 2018, a man entered the home in Detroit, Michigan, where Izabella Coleman, 5, and Dejiza were sleeping. Dejiza was shot 16 times; Izabella was shot in the head and taken to Sinai Grace Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
