As previously reported by Daily Voice, NyKayla Strawder, 15, was shot in the head by the boy on her front porch in the 600 block of Linnard Street, Saturday, Aug. 6. Her family says the young gunman had a dispute with Strawder's 11 year old brother, and came to settle it with a gun. When NyKayla opened the door, the plan allegedly changed, continued the New York Post.
NyKayla allegedly told the 9-year-old that her brother was not going to come out to play when the child took her Gatorade. When NyKayla asked for it back, he shot her in the head, continues the outlet. Police say the age of the gunman prevents the state from charging him.
The family has set up a GoFundMe to for support after the incident.
