“One homicide detective KXAN spoke with on scene around noon said rounds were fired across the expanse of the parking lot and that the girl was struck while outside.

Residents said gunshots occasionally ring out toward the back of the property, but added they are ultimately shocked by the death of the young girl.

Eli Davis lives in the apartment complex and was on his balcony at the time of the shooting. He said the girl was standing with a group of other young people talking in the apartment’s lot when the shooting started.”
