Laquana Lang, 27, was shot to death in her Augusta, Georgia home on a Saturday in September, just days after her 27th birthday. The shooting happened around 4 a.m.; she was not officially pronounced dead until 11:06 a.m. by the Richmond County Coroner’s Office. Her two young children, ages two and five, were in the house and spent more than four hours alone with their mother’s body; they crawled through her blood and later identified the shooter as their stepfather, 26-year-old Davante Parks. Officers who entered the Hines Street residence documented the children’s footprints in the blood at the scene.

Parks surrendered the day after the shooting and was charged with murder, two counts of first-degree cruelty to children, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He had been released on parole two months earlier after serving eight years for a 2016 shooting in which Brittney McKie survived being shot multiple times. A jury later found Parks guilty on all counts and a judge sentenced him to life plus 75 years.

Does anyone have information about Laquana’s life in Augusta or knew her family that could help fill gaps about what happened that night?
