I live in the area and I remember reading about this in the paper.  Didn't know she was from Kansas, such a sad story.

Any details?

She and another young lady were hit by stray bullets in an attempted drive-by shooting.  The last thing that got published as that police are looking for 3 suspects, but that was a month ago.
