A fourth child from the same family passed away a few days after Wyoming mother Tranyelle Harshman seemed to have killed herself and her children.
Harshman allegedly shot her four daughters on February 10, 2025, before shooting herself, according to tragic accounts.
Brailey Blackmer, age nine, Brooke and Jordan Harshman, both two, and Tranyelle herself died from their injuries. People from all around the world prayed for 7-year-old Olivia Blackmer’s recovery after the story went viral, and she was brought to a hospital in Salt Lake City.
Quinn Blackmer, Olivia’s father, tragically posted on Facebook on Sunday, February 16, that Olivia had lost the battle for her life.
Quinn stated, “We needed time to process what had happened, and I know this isn’t the update people were hoping for and we are absolutely gutted to make it,” prior to reporting Olivia’s sudden death yesterday, February 15, at 3:44 p.m.
We are feeling and experiencing a great deal of devastation. Please give all the families involved our time and space during this extremely difficult moment in our life.
Quinn continued by saying that he was somewhat relieved that his girls were together.
He said, “I feel at peace knowing that my babies can be with their other sisters and not have to be apart from each other.”
According to reports, 32-year-old Tranyelle Harshan suffered from postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and melancholy. On the day of the alleged murders, she called the police, confessed to shooting her kids, and threatened to harm herself.
Tranyelle’s husband, Cliff Harshman, told the Cowboy State Daily that she had been experiencing a lot of difficulties.
“My wife was not a monster,” he said.
Regarding her health issues, he stated, “Most people don’t understand how that affects the brain.” The cause is a chemical imbalance. Furthermore, trying to cure it with medication can make it worse.
May peace be with the sad children that were taken from this world far too soon.
