A man was arrested and charged for mowing down a family with his car and fatally shooting a couple’s 3-year-old girl.
21-year-old Alexander Lamar Banks Jr. ran down 3 adults and a child as they were walking on a sidewalk last Friday and then got out of his car and began shooting at them.
Banks fatally shot the couple’s 3-year-old girl, Harlow.
A Good Samaritan who tried to intervene was also seriously injured.
“Paige and Cameron are a loving family who recently experienced a devastating attack. Both parents were injured, and tragically, their young daughter lost her life,” the family’s GoFundMe said.
“Paige was our daughter’s nanny, and her little one became our girl’s very first friend. She quickly became a cherished part of our lives, caring for our daughter with warmth, love, and dedication,” they said.
“As friends and members of the community, we want to rally around Paige and Cameron to help ease their financial burden. All funds raised will go directly toward medical expenses, funeral costs for Harlow, and helping cover everyday living expenses, as they will be unable to work for the foreseeable future. This will allow them to focus on healing and remembering their beloved daughter,” the fundraiser said.

“As many of you know, our dear friend Barb was the victim of a horrific assault that occurred outside her house in Delta Township on Friday, 2/13, around 5:30pm. When she heard someone in trouble, she ran outside to help without any thought or regard for her own safety. A tragic scene was unfolding across the street, and she ran directly into the danger and saved two lives by distracting the gunman and taking his attention away from the family he was shooting at,” the GoFundMe page said.
“She endured severe trauma to her head and face, including bleeding in her brain. Emergency brain surgery was life-saving, but she lost consciousness on the scene and has not yet regained consciousness. We are waiting and praying so hard for her to wake up. She remains in critical condition,: the fundraiser said.
Authorities charged Banks with 10 counts, including first-degree murder and attempted murder.
