A Texas girl sitting in her home was killed Wednesday when an amateur rapper who felt disrespected by a rival’s lyrics allegedly opened fire and targeted the wrong apartment, say police.
Brandoniya Bennett, 9, was on her couch after getting her nails done in preparation for the first day of school when shots rang out in the Roseland Townhomes in Dallas.
A man later identified as Tyrese Simmons, 19, had gone to the apartment complex to confront an apparent rival, and allegedly shot at the wrong home, the Dallas Police Department says in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

Wow, that poor girl and her family.
We haven’t seen anything yet, as we get closer to the 2020 general election... this is just a “tune-up”.
Who are we to impose our culture upon America’s indigenous urban peoples?
Street crud seeking street cred. Hang him.
Luckily no racism was involved. It could have been a tragic outrage if there was.
Will gillibrand confiscate his gun? Oh that’s right she’s going after the soft targets
Mistakes were made...
If we could just give democrats control this would all end......please pass the pixie dust....RIP the young girl and condolences to the family.
Good thing granny didn’t have a gun. Cuz then, something bad mighta happened....
So we red flag all rappers? Good
It has always been bad in the hood. Young men lack the level headedness and discipline of an older adult male. Gang members are their only role models and they think that being “dissed” is a reason to murder someone.
A quick search shows an increase in deaths by gunshot beginning around 2014 and continuing to the present. All statistics subject to quibbling, of course. It’s possible that data collection improved.
The Dems will make sure the perp is registered to vote and will even hand deliver ballots to the jailhouse.
Poor kid. RIP.
I meant just in the last few weeks. Maybe I’m being gaslighted, but it seems like they are occurring at a dizzying pace.
Every day, 100 Americans are killed with guns and
hundreds more are shot and injured.
