Roxie Washington, Gianna’s mother, made a tearful statement with her daughter on Tuesday at the Minneapolis City Hall: 

“I don’t have a lot to say, because I can’t get my words together right now,” she said. “But I wanted everybody to know that this is what those officers took. At the end of the day, they get to go home and be with their families. Gianna does not have a father.”

“He will never see her grow up, graduate, he will never walk her down the aisle,” she added. “If there’s a problem she’s having and she needs her dad, she does not have that anymore.”
