โ€œIf anybody out there knows anything out there, please, please, let me know anything. I need justice,โ€ the teenโ€™sย mother, Onika Wilson, said.

Reggina Jefferies had performed a praise-and-worship dance at church before heading out to attend the vigil for two other teens who had drowned last month. However, the 16-year-old was fatally wounded after gunfire eruptedย around 5:30 p.m. while she was at the vigil.

Three other individuals were shot but survived the shooting and were said to be in stable condition.

Regginaโ€™sย mother is still reeling from what happened to her daughter. Wilson said she had watched her daughter perform at church before dropping her off.

โ€œI called my daughter at 5:25 and asked her if she was OK and she said yes. I got a phone call that my daughter had been shot at 5:36,โ€ Wilson said.
