A devastating tragedy has struck the family of Atlanta Falcons stars A.J. and Avieon Terrell. Their beloved aunt, Giselle Terrell Perry, was killed in a horrific car crash on May 6th. This senseless accident occurred while she was simply waiting for a family member outside a Kroger supermarket in Decatur, Georgia.
A Peaceful Moment Turned Tragic
According to reports from WSB-TV and Atlanta News First, Giselle Perry, 49, was sitting in her parked car around 3:20 p.m. She was patiently waiting for her mother to finish shopping inside the store. Tragically, her life was cut short when another driver slammed into her vehicle.
The impact was so severe that it propelled Giselle’s car into a metal pole and onto the sidewalk. The force of the collision was immense, with witnesses describing the scene as looking like “two of the cars had been in an explosion.” Another witness likened the speeding vehicle to a “missile.”
Devastating Impact and Injuries
The crash tragically claimed Giselle’s life. Sadly, a pedestrian who was also in the parking lot was struck and seriously injured, requiring hospitalization. The driver responsible for the collision was also hospitalized.
The daughter of the driver involved has spoken out, suggesting her mother may have blacked out behind the wheel. She expressed deep sorrow for the Perry family and stated her mother feels “terrible” about the tragic outcome.
A Cherished Family Member Remembered
The loss has deeply affected the Terrell family. Giselle’s husband, Laddyan Perry, shared his grief, describing her as “great, gorgeous, everything that’s good.” The Atlanta Falcons players also took to Instagram to mourn their aunt.
A.J. Terrell posted a photo of his aunt with the poignant caption, “I can still hear you.” Avieon Terrell shared a video of Giselle cheering him on during a high school football game, remembering her as “one of my biggest supporters.”
