Investigators said they were looking for unknown suspects and trying to learn what led up to the shooting.

Jacqueline Moore told WTMJ-TV her 16-year-old daughter was shot and killed in the same area nearly three years ago.

"Fifteen or 14 years old, it doesn’t matter it was still a child," Moore said. "Somebody lost their baby again. Another Black parent has to bury their baby."
