Ashli Babbitt’s mother has announced she’s going on a “Mother’s Day journey” on a Twitter account dedicated to her daughter, who was fatally shot during the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

“On January 6th, 2021 Ashli Babbitt was murdered in the United States Capitol in front of the world. Ashli was my daughter and I miss her everyday,” Micki wrote. “Ashli was a strong, independent, American, woman full of life, love, and promise, who was taken from us by an over zealous cop.”
