RIP Icelynn Leloni Beard

“I carried you every second of your life, and I will love you for every second of mine.”

On Tuesday September 26, 2023 in Nashville TN a young woman who was 8 months pregnant with a beautiful baby girl was shot in the stomach. Baby Icelynn was due to be born in less than a month. Her mother was fully prepared to bring her baby home and was overjoyed to be a girl mom. Unfortunately the bullet struck her unborn baby and the child did not survive her injuries. Due to this senseless act of violence a life was stolen and a mother was robbed of the opportunity to love, nurture, and care for her child. Instead due to the poor choices made by a heartless individual, Baby Icelynn was born sleeping; Via emergency c-section. Baby Icelynn was described as beautiful with black hair, weighing 7lbs, she was wrapped in a blanket and appeared just to be sleeping. Today a family is mourning a loss of life that can never be replaced. Today a mother is grieving the life she had planned and envisioned for her baby while recovering in the hospital from her own injuries that she sustained in the shooting. This GoFundMe is created to cover the funeral cost and expenses for baby Icelynn. Any additional funds will go to her mother to provide her with the necessary support and therapy to help her cope and maintain her mental health and to cover her living expenses due to loss of income.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact MNPD at [phone redacted].
