A drive-by shooting in the city of Hartford, Connecticut has left 12-year-old Secret Pierce dead, with the city’s mayor calling on the other victims to share information with police.
Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin said Friday that he believes the bullet that took the life of Secret Pierce, 12, of Hartford, was intended for someone else.
"And while I am sorry for the wounds that they experienced last night and hope that they recover quickly and heal in all ways... I also call on them to share whatever they know," Bronin said."Because I believe they know who fired the bullets that killed the 12-year-old girl. And I believe that one of the bullets that was intended for one of them took the life of a 12-year-old girl.
Bronin continued by saying that it is"not acceptable not to cooperate with investigators and it is not acceptable not to share the information you know about who took the life of a 12-year-old girl. "That is not fair to her family. That is not fair to her loved ones," he said in a plea for the shooting victims to cooperate."It's not fair to her memory. It’s not fair to our community." The Hartford Police Department is shown here responding to another crime scene. It's Major Crimes Division is investigating the drive-by shooting case, according to Fox61.
Pierce was sitting in a car Thursday night when she was hit by a bullet, police told Fox61. As of Friday, no suspects have been arrested.
