Cops were called to the Cedar Crest area of Dallas at around 2pm on Sunday to reports of a shooting at Southern Oaks Apartments.
They learnt two girls were fighting in the parking lot and one of them, a 14-year-old, 'retrieved a handgun and fired toward the direction of the female she was fighting,' said Sergeant Warren Mitchell of Dallas Police Department.
She missed, and instead shot D'evan McFall. He was taken to hospital, but died of his injuries.
he 14-year-old ran away to a neighboring housing complex, but was seen running away and was arrested, ABC News reported, and has been charged.
She is currently being held at the Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Center. Police did not say whether the lived in the housing complex, and where she got the gun.
'This is a horrible incident,' said Mitchell. He said homicide detectives have obtained the murder weapon, and were speaking with witnesses.
He said they did not suspect gang activity, but it was 'a beef between two juveniles that led to a deadly outcome'.

OK Gun grabbers. How would yet another law stop this?
That’s not an apostrophe. It’s a “comma to the top”
Feral animals
I used to be able to get into prone, sitting, kneeling, offhand.
But now . . .
Getting out of prone is a chore.
The rest, forget it (except offhand).
Murder is a general term. It’s categorized, but not stated here.
Most states are asinine.
That sounds to me like reckless endangerment.
Not to mention 3rd degree murder.
OK ... if she kills her intended victim, it’s first degree murder ... but because her marksmanship is crap, it should only be third degree murder?
That’s stupid.
Not really.
What if you accidentally shoot an innocent when you’re trying to confront a violent scumbag causing mayhem?
Would you like to be handed even 2nd deg?
Only 11 years old. Heartbreaking... So sorry for the family.
You really need to read Dr. Thomas Sowell’s book, Black Rednecks and White Liberals. A lot of the behaviors including language is a result of English culture that was the basis for Southern culture. After the Civil War, most blacks in the North were more closely culturated with Northerners and complained of the culture that Southern blacks brought with them. Blacks and Whites in the North got along relatively well until the Southern cultured blacks had became prevalent in the north.
It’s a fantastic book.
Let me guess..
