Before her life was cut short, 9-year-old T’Yonna Major wowed everyone who knew her with her gymnastics.
T’Yonna died after she was shot along with her mother in a series of killings Wednesday in the Pine Hills community. She was remembered as an outstanding student and a promising young gymnast.
Her father, Tokiyo Major, described his daughter in a GoFundMe post as “a light to everyone that knew her.” Her teachers would call her the next Gabby Douglas, an Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics.
