Briana Allen, age 5 |
One of the gunmen, 18-year old Leo Riles, turned himself in.
From the article:
Riles is accused of opening fire along with two other gunmen on a small crowd that had gathered for a 10-year-old boy’s birthday party just before 6pm last night in the 1200-block of Simon Bolivar Avenue. A 5-year-old girl was killed, as well as 33-year-old Shawanda Pierce, who was in her car about a block away from the party. A stray bullet went through Pierce’s windshield, and struck her in the face. She died a short time later at a nearby hospital.
Two men, who were at the party but were not injured, appear to have been the intended target. They are apparently uncooperative with police.
The 10-year-old boy was grazed by a bullet on his face, and was also shot in the leg. He was treated and released from a hospital earlier today. 2 men, who were also wounded in the incident, were released from the hospital last night.
UPDATE (6/7/12): A follow-up article and video regarding the funeral for the 5-year old victim, Briana Allen.
