The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says Niani Rayshawn Allen was riding in a car in west Phoenix on Friday night when an 18-year-male suspect allegedly fired a gun from another vehicle. Allen’s friends drove her to a nearby Walmart to get help before she was taken to Phoenix Children’s Hospital where she was later pronounced dead. Hegstrom says the victim and the suspect were part of two groups who had gotten into an altercation at a high school basketball game. h/t abc15
