Après avoir obtenu son diplôme d'études secondaires, elle a travaillé comme hôtesse dans des restaurants et s'est consacrée aux soins de sa fille de 1 an, De-vynne Robinson.
At age 12, Alexander played the character Joy Strong in Beasts of the Southern Wild, a drama filmed near Houma recounting the story of a poor Louisiana bayou community struggling for survival. The film won the grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for four Academy Awards, including best picture.
“She brought life to everything,” Shelly Alexander told the newspaper Tuesday. “Jonshel was feisty, jazzy, spoiled. It was her way or no way. Jonshel was like, ‘It’s going to be me.'”
Meanwhile, investigators are seeking a person of interest in the shooting and have asked the public’s help for any information in the case.
