14-year-old girl dies after shooting at apartment complex in Raleigh

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — A 14-year-old girl died Monday morning after being shot at an apartment complex in Raleigh.

At about 2:30 a.m., the Raleigh Police Department responded to a reported person shot in the 1900 block of North Hills Drive.

The shooting happened at North Hills Apartments near Crabtree Valley Mall.

Because of the victim’s age, her identity will not be released. It was also not revealed how the teen got the injuries.

An advocate of the victim’s family said she and others tried more than once before today to intervene and get the teen girl some help.

The teen had a court date scheduled in June, the advocate said, and she had previously been suspended from school.

“She was a caring and a loving, scared child,” the advocate said. “And, she had to face situations that most children at 13, or her age, would not have to face in a normal situation.”

The investigation is still ongoing.
