A South Fulton family is searching for answers after a 9-year-old boy was killed Wednesday afternoon by a car.

Witnesses say the boy was simply getting a sweet treat from the ice cream truck when he was hit.

“He was getting his ice cream. I just wished he had waited until I got home,” his mother, D’Estin Perry, said.

It hadn’t been a full 24 hours when FOX 5 talked with the victim’s the young child’s mother.

“Love your babies as much as possible,” Perry said.

As she still works to process how and why her 9-year-old son, A’Cariyon Perry, was hit and killed right in front of their South Fulton home.

“My baby went to go get ice cream and was coming back across the street to the house. The car sped around the corner to go around the ice cream truck and hit him,” Perry said.

South Fulton Police said the incident happened Wednesday afternoon just before 5 p.m. at the home on Creel Road.

Witnesses say A’Cariyon went with other kids to get ice cream from the truck parked out front when another driver sped around, hitting him.
