As our community continues to grieve and seek justice for Dakota, it has come to our attention that the woman accused of his tragic death has been seen online, sitting back with her daughter, laughing and making jokes. This behavior is profoundly disrespectful and hurtful to Dakota’s family, friends, and all who are mourning this devastating loss.

Our community stands together in support of Dakota’s loved ones during this difficult time. We urge everyone to remain respectful and compassionate as we navigate through this tragedy together.
