Former college basketball player fatally shot in Mobile park

One person was killed Thursday night following a shooting at a Mobile park, according to the Mobile Police Department.

The shooting occurred at Sage Park at about 9:30 resulting in a woman and a man being struck by gunfire.

Both were taken to the hospital but the woman died from her injuries.

An outpouring of Facebook posts from family, friends and community members identified the victim as Frenicka Craig.

Shykethia Craig, Frenicka’s older sister, posted after the shooting saying that Frenicka was “gone.”

One post by Woogang TV asking the community to pray for Frenicka’s family has garnered over 1,000 shares.

“Rest in Peace Frenicka Craig,” the post said. “Tonight at Sage Park during a basketball event, the young lady known as Frenicka Craig was a victim of gun violence at Sage Park tonight. She was a former student athlete that played basketball at Vigor High School (Class of 2015) then played collegiate basketball at Coastal Alabama Community College in 2017. Please keep this family, her friends and our community in your prayers.”

Dozens of other posts memorialized Frenicka and called on the gun violence in Mobile to end.

More information regarding the shooting is forthcoming, according to the police.
