JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A community left reeling after a tragic triple shooting on Jacksonville’s Northside will gather Friday night in support of the victims: a 27-year-old mom and her two young daughters.
Police say the girls’ father shot all three, killing 4-year-old Harmoni Reed and critically injuring her mother and 2-year-old sister.
A GoFundMe to support the family identifies the mom as Brianna Johnson and the 2-year-old girl as Rhythm Reed.
A makeshift memorial has been set up on the lawn of the Traci Lynn Drive home, where police say Trudale Reed, 29, fired shots during a domestic dispute with the girls’ mother. He is charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder and other charges.
Neighbor Ella Bedwell told News4JAX she has lived in the area for two years, and now she’s helping organize a candlelight vigil for the victims at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Traci Lynn Drive neighborhood.
“I just want to say that we’re here for you, and I feel as though we’re all wrapped up in our own little worlds that sometimes we forget that it’s OK to reach out. We’re not in this alone,” Bedwell said.
She said she hopes the vigil, which is open to the public, will make the family feel supported.
What happened
On Tuesday, officers responded to a home on Traci Lynn Drive and found Johnson and her two young girls suffering gunshot wounds.
Investigators said they learned that Trudale Reed, the girls’ father, was arguing outside the home with the girls’ mother and then fired multiple rounds, hitting her and their two daughters before driving off in a stolen SUV.
According to GoFundMe, Johnson and her daughter Rhythm were still being treated for life-threatening injuries at the hospital.

Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and for the overwhelming love, compassion, and support you have shown during this incredibly difficult time,” the GoFundMe read.
