Teenage girl dies after being shot in bed during Phoenix drive-by

Posted

A 15-year-old girl is dead following a drive-by shooting near 109th Avenue and Taft Street, Phoenix police said.

Officers were called to a home in the area about 8 a.m. Sept. 3 where they found Giaginette Brown, 15, who had at least one gunshot wound. Life-saving measures were attempted, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The teen was in her bed, when shots entered her home between midnight and 3 a.m., according to a preliminary investigation.

“At least one of the several bullets that entered the house struck the victim. It is believed that the home was the intended target of the shooting,” police said in a release.

Anyone with information is asked to call Silent Witness at 480(WITNESS) or 480(TESTIGO) and provide an anonymous tip. Rewards will be paid for information leading to an arrest in the case, the release stated.
