On February 10, 2026, four-year-old Eden Ava Barker Wickramarachchi was tragically killed in her Ocala, Florida, residence. The young girl, who was known for her love of people and playing with other children, particularly at what she called the "red park" at Jervey Gantt, died from gun violence.
Eden was found deceased along with her mother, Nancy Bacon, who was 34 years old. Law enforcement officials have stated that the suspect in the killings was Bacon's estranged husband. According to police, the man fatally shot his estranged wife and her young daughter before taking his own life near the Georgia-Florida state line.
An obituary for Eden mentioned her survivors, including her grandmother and uncle. A graveside service was scheduled to be held on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at Good Shepherd Memorial Gardens of Ocala.
