them devastated.

Eboni Anderson, 34, was killed in a shooting outside of Palmetto Elementary School on Tuesday.

Tariq Robinson, Anderson’s stepfather, said he and his family are heartbroken over the loss of the mother of three.

“She was a loving daughter. Beautiful. Always,” Robinson said, holding back tears.

Robinson said he believes Anderson was at the school doing rideshare food delivery. A DoorDash spokesperson confirmed that Anderson was active at the time of the shooting.

“This is a tragic situation and our thoughts are with the Dasher’s loved ones,” the company said in a statement. “Our team is urgently investigating and working with law enforcement to help their investigation in any way possible.”

Anderson was a mother to three boys — two 8-year-old twins and an 18-month-old.

“She was a great mother. She loved her boys. She did everything she could for them,” Robinson said.

Loved ones say arrangements to lay Anderson to rest are still in the works. They have also started a GoFundMe to help with expenses.

Fulton County Schools Police identified the shooting suspect as Christopher Loris Ates. He was arrested after a vehicle chase that ended in Twiggs County.
