By Jerry Askin  A 21-year girl is shot and killed outside her home, and we're hearing more from her family. The shooting happened Saturday night at Eastlake Courts."This does not make any kind of sense," says Alma Tramble, Kenyeta's Tramble's grandmother.Family members full of tears Sunday afternoon, all in memory of Kenyeta Tramble. She died Saturday night after her family tells us she was shot outside her home in Eastlake Courts. For Alma Tramble, she lost more than a granddaughter."She's my granddaughter, but I have raised her since she was 9 months old. She was my daughter, she was my baby," says Alma Tramble.Her baby, she says, who never caused any harm to anyone."This is an unneccessary shooting. She just turned 21, January 15th - and she has a 17-month old baby," says Alma Tramble.Sunday, hundreds of people met outside Tramble's home at Eastlake Courts for prayer. Many remembering a dear friend, many remembering a loved one."She don't get into it with nobody, she don't bother nobody. She always smiling and was such a happy person," says Deadra Strickland, Kenyeta Tramble's cousin.No better time many say to raise awareness about stopping all the violence in Chattanooga."This is just too much shooting.. I don't visit out here because I'm afraid. I do not come out here period," says Alma Tramble.For Alma Tramble, Kenyeta's voice and kind personality will always be with her."She never called me without saying grandma I love you... I'm going to miss that and her bubbly ways," says Alma Tramble.Police are still searching for possible suspects in this shooting. Call police if you have any information.Still no word on a motive of this shooting, but a Chattanooga Police spokesperson tells us they do not believe this was a random shooting.
