This is Danajiea Gardener. On May 14th, the 17 year old was killed in a car wreck near Dallas and Watkins in Grand Rapids. She was supposed to graduate the next day.
Her family says after her funeral last week lots of friends and family stopped by their home to drop off flowers/ offer their condolences. Soon after, this post surfaced on Craigslist of someone asking about a large group of n**gers/c**ns hanging out around an Alger Heights home.
The NAACP of Grand Rapids says they were not surprised to hear of this happening as they've seen a ramp up of racially charged incidents in Grand Rapids since the start of the pandemic.
I spoke with Gardener’s family about the post. Coming up tonight at 6PM on @WOODTV, I’ll tell you what the city is doing about it.
