HOPEWELL, Va. (WRIC) — The City of Hopewell community is reeling after the death of an 8-year-old girl in a drive-by shooting last week.
Authorities said that P’Aris Moore was playing outside with her family members on Freeman Street around 2 p.m. Friday in the Arlington neighborhood. Witnesses reported that a silver, four-door sedan sped by, and a single gunshot was fired, hitting the young girl in the chest.
“It was five other kids out there,” Moore’s mother, Brionna Taylor, said. “But you shot once, and you shooting once means you was looking for an intended target, but you didn’t get that target. You got a child. So you pulled off because you felt bad.”
