Henry Long, the father of the victim, released a statement mourning the death of his daughter and calling for Finch to stay in jail.
“Ashlee’s life mattered. And so does justice,” Long wrote on Facebook. “Kendrick Finch must remain behind bars — permanently.
“He made the choice to kill. He should not be given the opportunity to walk free and make that choice again.”
Long said the pain of losing a child is “indescribable.”
The tragic loss of the victim to an act of gun violence by a stranger was highlighted. The grieving individual expressed that Kendrick Finch was responsible for the decision to end her life, inflicting immeasurable pain on all those who cared about her.
