“Seeing your daughter laying in the hospital bed with her brains hanging out of her head. My god. That’s a hard pill to swallow,” she said.
Camryn’s parents tell Atlanta News First the popular hairstylist from Chester, South Carolina was in Atlanta visiting friends.
Her parents say Camryn and her boyfriend were leaving the strip club when shots were fired on Pryor Street in the vicinity of the club.
“They stop and they noticed the car pulled up so close on the side which was on Camryn’s side, the passenger side, and they just started shooting,” said Creighton Price.
