Mass Shooting at Alabama birthday party

Two days after a killer gunned down revellers celebrating a Sweet 16 party, police say they have “strong leads” in the massacre that left four people dead, at least 28 others injured and a small Alabama city tormented by confusion and grief.  he sergeant did not specify the ages of those 28 people injured or whether they were all shot. But he said some of them were critically injured.

In addition to the young victims killed, at least 15 teens were shot and hospitalized Saturday night in Dadeville. Despite the leads, police have not released any information about a possible suspect or motive behind the violence. While Dadeville’s police chief asked for “patience” with the investigation, he and state officials urged anyone who has pictures or information from the scene to help authorities.

“I cannot stress this enough: We absolutely need you to share it,” Sgt. Jeremy J. Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said.

The gunfire erupted around 10:34 p.m. Saturday at an event venue in downtown Dadeville. Keenan Cooper, the DJ at the party when the shots rang out, said he didn’t notice any fight or disturbance before the shooting.

The sergeant did not specify the ages of those 28 people injured or whether they were all shot. But he said some of them were critically injured.

On Monday, Tallapoosa County Coroner Mike Knox identified all four of the victims killed:

• Corbin Dahmontrey Holston, a 23-year-old male from Dadeville, Alabama

• Marsiah Emmanuel Collins, a 19-year-old male from Opelika, Alabama

• Philstavious Dowdell, an 18-year-old male from Camp Hill, Alabama, and a senior at Dadeville High School

• Shaunkivia (KeKe) Nicole Smith, a 17-year-old female, also a senior at Dadeville High School

Dowdell was the brother of the birthday girl celebrating her Sweet 16. City council member Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson said she knew Dowdell and two of the other victims. All were smart children “with very bright futures.  Smith was also a student athletic manager on the Dadeville High School track team. 

At least 15 teenagers from the birthday party were shot and taken to Dadeville’s Lake Martin Community Hospital, spokesperson Heidi Smith said.  Among them, five were in critical condition, and four were in stable condition, Smith said Sunday. Those nine patients have been transferred to other medical facilities. The remaining six patients have been treated and released, Smith said.

Help this family lay their daughter to rest

On Saturday night, January 7th, a mass shooting occurred in Madison County, Alabama at a 21st birthday party. There were multiple shooters and only two have been arrested so far. Two women were confirmed dead on the scene, and another 11 were shot and injured. One of those victims was Quantasia Grant, originally from Florida. She, like the other victim Kaitlyn Jenkins, was only 20 years old.

I’m posting a link here to the GoFundMe set up by Quantasia Grant’s family, to raise money to pay for a proper memorial service.

I’m from this part of Alabama, and this tragic shooting hits really close to home. If you can donate, please do. If not, please share this link and get the word out.

Last I checked, they only had about $5,000 out of their $15,000 goal, and there’s only 10 days left.

Poll time!

(I, personally, pronounce it Moh-Beel! We were discussing it in the discord, so I figured I'd ask on a broader scale. This will not change my mind, as a forewarning. <3)

[dream-sans-mogai]

Anyway, because I'm considered a bigger creator within the mogai community and I have a responsibility to address things given my bigger audience-

Please remember that Tumblr, especially LGBT Tumblr concerning discourse and intracommunity issues, is a hyper niche, reactive, violent, sensitive community with next to zero basis in reality at large and you should not take any of its opinions as absolute fact. Especially the mogai community's opinions.

A lot of people on mogai Tumblr talk big game with very clearly fake the-whole-bus-clapped stories about the real world concerning acceptance towards mspec monos, Neopronouns and Xenogenders and it's my job as an adult and guiding voice to remind people these experiences may happen but rarely do and you absolutely should not just tell random people you use purr/purrs pronouns or your a bi gaybian or you identify as Chronosian or other things like that because it's really fucking dangerous even in hyper progressive places like new york, cali and Detroit. It can be deadly in many many small towns, including ones in progressive states. Especially dangerous in non accepting states.

I don't say this to burst your bubble or ruin your hopeful world view but many stories of acceptance are fake, even if some are true, most of the community is underage and just cause your teacher may approve of your Soniccharic identity, doesn't mean they won't tell your transphobic parents. It's scary and dangerous out here for trans and gay people rn and I won't be one of the idiots who tell you to run and frolic with your Xenogender pins Infront of increasingly hostile transphobes. I want the younger gen z trans people to survive and I won't lie to you about the reality of the battle we all are staring down concerning project 2025.

Most of the people telling these stories live in progressive states and do not tell you about the failed times or exaggerate the acceptance they supposedly received. I'm telling you from the mouth of someone who grew up in a tiny town in South Ohio with less than 1,000 people, it's still just as dangerous as it was 10 years ago. I still get followed in my home town. I still get stares in my home town. My actual home town, a place I grew up in where people knew me as the gnc dyke for a good while in my last 2 years of school. Do not spread this shit around to everyone. Nex didn't think they would become a victim, Brianna didn't think she would be one of the unlucky ones, plenty of those we've lost did not think they would die in hate crimes. I almost died in two of the hate crimes I've experienced.

You need to be really fucking careful and although I love than Neopronouns and Xenogenders are becoming more accepted by the larger LGBT community, you need to be very very VERY careful about what you do, what you wear and who you tell what because word spreads fast in suburbia and hate spreads faster. You do not want to be wearing a pin the day some white cishet magat decides he's tired of the "pedophiles" and chooses you as the first victim because you were the first he saw. Don't hide who you are but Be. Fucking. Careful.

This is also applicable to any of you young people out there if you’re organizing walkouts to protest your state’s total lack of action to prevent school shootings, if you’re protesting attacks on your trans/nonbinary friends, etc.

As we saw in Nashville this past week, you are hard to ignore when you descend on the halls of power, and you have no idea how many people across the world are watching and cheering you on.
