Very upsetting -- guns in the wrong hands can do so much damage, and sometimes the damage cannot be undone.
Sympathy goes out to the family of Antavius Holton. Good wishes and healing for the 9 y/o and for those who love her.

I noticed this from another story on the incident. BBM.

According to the investigation, officers believe that it was an isolated incident and that Jelks planned to shoot the man. Officers identified the child as an innocent bystander who was struck by a stray bullet.

Does this mean Jelks was planning to shoot Holton at the store (i.e. a planned meetup)?
Or did Holton do something at the store which angered Jelks?
Confusingly written, or perhaps confusing statement by LE to begin with.
Also, donuts to dollars Jelks wasn't authorized to be carrying a firearm while working.

I think they worked together at the Walmart but that’s just MOO from the weirdly worded articles.
