Family, friends grieve for 12-year-old missing 6 months, found murdered in Frankford
By Shawnette Wilson
FRANKFORD - A 12-year-old girl missing for six months, just days ago, found dead. Her friends and family want to know what happened.
Orange balloons released in memory of 12-year-old girl who lost her life to gun violence. Alezauna Carter, known to family and friends as Libby, died after someone shot her in the face.
"She was a strong girl, but she didn't deserve this. Not at all," said mom Trisha.
Her mother, Trisha, spoke during a vigil Tuesday evening
"We all tried to look for her and keep her safe. Every day, was looking out for this child," Trisha added.
Police say Libby was reported missing in November 2020. She was last seen the morning of October 12th, near the 7100 block of Theodore Street in Southwest Philadelphia.
Six months later, on April 18th, police found someone shot in the mouth in a first floor apartment on the 1500 block of Overington Street in Frankford. At that time, they only referred to the victim as an unidentified female who died at the scene.
It wasn't until May 1st that Libby was identified.
Her older cousin said she was a good girl who liked doing TikTok and dancing.
"They think cause she out in the street, she doing something bad. Nah, people just hang around the wrong group of people," Libby's cousin stated.
Police say she had run away several times from her parents and guardian care. The day after the murder, police released surveillance video showing someone they called a suspect.
"This is a child that's walking around in the street. We don't know what happened, but we are going to find out," Libby's aunt said.

Family demanding answers after 13-year-old girl shot dead in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A memorial was held on Tuesday for murder victims in Philadelphia whose cases are still unsolved, including a 13-year-old girl who was found shot to death last month.
"There's so many unsolved murders here in Philadelphia," said Rosalind Pichardo, founder of Operation Save Our City, who put on the event held in McPherson Square.
Thirteen-year-old Alezauna Carter, known as Libby, was found dead after being shot in her face on the 1500 block of Overington Street on April 18. Philadelphia police initially identified her as a 20-year-old woman.
"There's nothing you can do as a parent to prepare you for something like this," said her grandfather, William Orr. "We all live down South Philly and southwest, so I have no idea how she managed to find her way down to this neighborhood."
Orr says his grandaughter initially ran away with some of her friends. When she was killed on the 18th, police didn't learn her identity and notify the family until two weeks later, family members say.
Loved ones are demanding answers from police and the community.
"The fact that people know stuff and say nothing is horrible," said a family friend who spoke at the vigil. "I don't care about the 'no snitches and no telling,' I know I'm telling. I don't care. I'm a mother first."
Police have not made any arrests in Carter's homicide case and are asking anyone with information to come forward by calling 215-686-TIPS.
To date, at least 176 homicides have been recorded this year. That's up 39% from this time last year, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.
