A Goldsboro mother told WRAL News her 13-year-old daughter was shot and killed on Sunday.
Officers were called around 4:40 p.m. to Patetown Road for what people on the scene told WRAL News was a deadly shooting.
“She was lovely. She was in middle school. She was a good kid. She didn’t deserve this,” said Whitney Tune, the girl’s mother.
First responders can be heard over Broadcastify Emergency Responder Traffic saying the victim was not conscious and not breathing.
Police have not confirmed the victim’s age or identity.
Tune said the loss is devastating and worries about what this means for other families in the area.
“I’m heartbroken,” Tune continued. “My daughter’s gone. Christmas around the corner. She didn’t deserve this. She’s a little girl. She’s not coming home. It doesn’t matter where she lived, where she’d be; it shouldn’t happen. And there’s other little kids out here that are in danger as well, with the violence.”
Goldsboro police told WRAL News the investigation is still ongoing.
