TikTok star Ophelia Nichols has opened up after a man was arrested for allegedly murdering her son, Randon Lee.
The social media influencer explained: “I’m getting a hundred messages saying, ‘You must be so happy right now,’ and I am not. I am not happy. … When I seen that mugshot last night, I thought to myself, ‘My goodness, he’s just a baby.’”Nichols recalled reading comments from the 20-year-old suspect’s loved ones who described him as a “lovely young man,” which she “bet” that he was.
“That just made me think, within 11 seconds, he made the decision to just throw his life away,” she added, noting that Gulley and her late son, Randon Lee, both “have a mother that would do absolutely anything for them.” She continued: “So remember this, there’s now two families that are hurting, there’s two of us. And those parents shouldn’t suffer for something that their child did, just as well as I shouldn’t suffer for anything that my children have done.”— further offered prayers for Gulley’s family. She hoped that his mother, unlike her, would not have to hear negative comments about her child throughout her hometown.
