Amaria Parham, age 3 |
Police know who the shooter is and are looking for him. Amaria is expected to recover.
From an article:
Investigators tell Local 4 that the shooting in the 19000 block of Cardoni Street began as a small dispute between neighbors. Sources say with tension rising, Latina Edwards, who lives on the block, grabbed her 3-year-old daughter, Amaria Parham, and jumped in a van. She was trying to leave when someone pulled out a shotgun and fired it at the van. The girl was hit in the arm.
"Wasn't nobody really out here. All we heard was gunshots. We don't know where they came from," said Dominique Lauderdale, a family friend.
Addendum (10/10/12): According to another article, the shooter had purposely targeted Amyria (as her name is spelled in the article) after the shooter started calling Amyria a "ho" and then confronting Amyria's mother when the mother objected to his language.
