NFL Star Loses Family Member In Tragic Incident
During a routine grocery store trip, the aunt of two Atlanta Falcons players was struck and killed by a driver while waiting for her mother outside a Kroger supermarket.
As reported by WSB-TV, Giselle Perry, aunt of brothers AJ and Avieon Terrell, was struck outside a grocery store in Decatur, Ga., around 3:20 pm on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers from DeKalb County said a driver smashed into Perry’s car, causing it to impact a metal pole and push others onto the sidewalk. The driver of the vehicle, Perry, 49, was seated behind the wheel:
Tyeisha Wilson, the daughter of the driver who smashed into Perry, said her mom had just left her home before she blacked out while behind the wheel.
“My mom blacked out while she was driving and she didn’t even know what was happening,” she told WSB. She has been left with serious injuries
Barber Tony Lackey saw a car speed across the parking lot while he was on a smoke break moments before it smashed into Perry’s car.
“We seen and heard the car coming and two seconds later, boom, a loud bang and all of us ran down there and checked it out and it was horrible,” he told Atlanta News First.
“It looked like two of the cars had been in an explosion like the car that she hit was t-boned because it was parked right there and brought all the way to the wall.”
Witness Doderick Moore compared the speeding car to a “missile.”
“The woman came down here like a missile and knocked the car that way,” he said. “She knocked every brick off that pole in one lick.”
There were also serious injuries sustained by a pedestrian walking nearby.
Their aunt was honored by the NFL brothers.
During last month’s NFL Draft, Avieon, 21, was selected 48th overall and reunited with his brother with the Falcons. In one of his Instagram Stories, he mentioned Perry as one of the most supportive people he had ever met.
He posted a video of a touchdown he scored for Westlake High School, where she was seen celebrating wildly.

AJ Terrell, 27, a Falcons first-round draft pick in 2020, posted a black and white photo of himself with his aunt, captioned “I can still hear you.”
Two weeks ago, the Falcons shared video footage of AJ and Avieon’s reunion on the field as they embraced in front of their families.
