Authorities are investigating the shooting death of 16-year-old Evette Jeffrey in the Bronx, believed to be an unintended victim amid a youth brawl. The incident occurred near The Bronx Latin School, where teens were engaged in an altercation when gunfire erupted. Jeffrey, a Morris Academy student, was struck in the head by a bullet as she scootered within the schoolyard. Police continue to seek a 14-year-old person of interest in the case, which raises serious concerns about violence in school areas.
"When the shots are fired, who we believe to be an unintended target is struck and she immediately falls to the ground with a gunshot wound to the head as the other children run away for their lives."
"She is not engaged in the fight and immediately walks over to another male at the edge of the group, who attempts to pull her to a brick wall for cover."
